Any suggestion as to what to use in the tallow pot?  And where to purchase.  I just bought this same machine and am trying to get it all set up and functioning as well as possible.  Thanks

Usually, nothing. In the times when these machines were  released, they only have cotton or linen thread. This required wax to set the thread and keep it from untwisting. Modern thread is either bonded nylon or polyester and it needs no wax.

Howm-so-ever, there is a use for that pot in certain circumstances. If you use leather tape to baste your seams, the needle may gum up with the adhesive as you sew through it. Adding liquid silicon lube to the wax pot will help avoid thread tangles under the needle's point, or in its eye.

Should you want to sell this, or any other leather work machine, place the ad in our MarketPlace, under the appropriate sub-section.
