This KUNPENG seller has several Ebay accounts (Germany, US, UK...).

I have good experiences. Shipping always is was tracked and items are very well packed. Takes approx 2-4 weeks to arrive (on my side of the channel).

Many thanks

I haven't had any bad experiences with them either. But, I don't interact as often nowadays.

I haven't used them a lot but no problems when I did.

I've ordered off them before. Their parts are generally pretty good and prices reasonable. Don't order anything you're in a hurry for though, I think their packages are delivered by packsnail.

I’ve ordered a few things from them without any issue.   I’m currently waiting for hooks, take up levers and case openers for big bobbin conversions on a pair of 111w155s.

Years ago when I first heard of this conversion it sounded complicated, especially the alterations to the hook saddle that most people seem to do with a milling machine.  

It wasn’t until a few weeks ago that it dawned on me that the saddle alteration is just clearance for the hook and not a precision surface.  Someone with a Dremel tool and a lot of patience could easily do a profession-looking job in an hour or two.

Shortening the hook shaft bushing has to result in a precision flat surface, but even that could be done with careful filing followed by bluing the surface with a sharpie, rotating it against the hook to show high spots and carefully scraping until there is full contact.

I have a lathe and can alter both parts, but I’m super slow so it won’t really save any time.  :-)

This information more or less applies to juki lu-562, the Consew like in this video, singer 111w155 and others that share nearly identical parts.
