Members justingschneider Posted August 27, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2018 I looked for over a year for a old one like this and was about to give up and save up for a cowboy or cobra. Quote
Members Clintock Posted August 27, 2018 Members Report Posted August 27, 2018 Man Im filled with jealously!! That’s a good find! Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 27, 2018 Members Report Posted August 27, 2018 Did that ever clean up nice! My only lucky find like that had nothing to do with leather or sewing. I scored one of the most desirable Coleman lanterns while walking my dog on trash night. It was sitting in the top of a can, and I decided to take it home with me. Canadian C.P.R. kerosene lantern - they are worth quite a few bucks on E-bay!! :D Quote
Members Matt S Posted August 27, 2018 Members Report Posted August 27, 2018 Nice find, that old japanning is very tough and it's often there under decades of schmoo. I can't find much information online about the 119-2, looks like a class 17 but with a walking foot. Is that right? Quote
Members justingschneider Posted August 28, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 28, 2018 yes walking foot it was discontinued in the 50's and they started making the 153's. was made for leather briefcases. I put a servo motor on it and put a small 2" pulley on the motor and a 6" pulley on the machine. slowed it way down. trying different size thread on it now. Can take needles up to #25. Now i just need to learn how to sew a straight line. This one was from 1939. Quote

Members justingschneider Posted August 28, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 28, 2018 cowboy bob will the presser feet from any of your machines work on this machine? I'm new to this so i don't know if they are interchangeable or not. Is there a foot that allows you to see the needle? Mine goes through a hole in the foot and makes it hard to see where I'm sewing. Or is this just something you have to learn how to do? Quote
