Members Woodstove Posted January 12, 2019 Members Report Posted January 12, 2019 Hello all My first post as a new member from Canada! I picked up an old Seiko walking foot machine with the nameplate and decals missing . Looks like an old Consew 255 or Seiko LSW from the 60s) The hook assembly was a little sloppy so I ordered a replacement from Toledo Sewing on Friday. The fella on the phone said he's have it in the mail Monday morning. I told him I learned of his business from here at Leatherworker.net. so a shout out to you folks as well! I still need a Feed Driving Eccentric pin PN 10634. Does anyone have or know where I could find one? I use to be a gunsmith so working with small, moving, interconnected parts comes easy to me. Had I seen one before I could turn one on my lathe but I have never seen one before. Any help would be appreciated The body casting is marked SEIKO STW8808147 and the SN is SW8808147 Sammy from Ontario Canada!! Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted January 12, 2019 Members Report Posted January 12, 2019 Text Bob or call him first thing Monday to see if he can delay shipping until he can get he other part for you and ship both at once. glenn Quote
Members Woodstove Posted January 12, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks Glen. I was told by the gentleman on the phone at Toledo the part was not available. If I had a pic or a sample I could duplicate one. I have a lathe, forge, belt grinder and lots of experience fixing and making parts. Just not on sewing machines Quote
Members Bugstruck Posted January 13, 2019 Members Report Posted January 13, 2019 On the exceedingly rare occasion I can't find what I need from the suppliers who take care of us here I try this outfit. Not confident this is what you are chasing as they list it as a stud and I don't think this is an eccentric but the part number lined up. Takes a while as they are across the big pond. https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/10634-SEIKO-STUD Quote

I have had no luck from the OEM supplier getting parts. They tell me they'll look, I give them the info, then never hear back.

Members Bugstruck Posted January 13, 2019 Members Report Posted January 13, 2019 I don't think they carry Techsew parts. Been awhile since I've been active here but I believe Techsew or one of their dealers sponsors this site, used to. I'd certainly start there and if by some odd chance they can't get what you want you could PM me. You look to be a regular here, I think if one of the authorized vendors here sees your post, they would be inclined to assist. Someone here will know where to steer you rather quicker than I am presumably. Quote
Members DFH Posted January 13, 2019 Members Report Posted January 13, 2019 If this helps any when clicked on College sewing web site to look at the part . I discovered if you click on the photo of the part it enlarges . Quote

I need to replace a brass bushing where the rod goes through the case, would have thought it a simple thing, but apparently... no. I would have thought bushings are a wearing part and would be readily available!
