Middelbosch Report post Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, i recently got my hands on a Junker & Ruh machine in very good and seemingly complete condition. Though i haven't been able to identify the machine nor have i been able to find a single picture of the same one. The closest i could find is the one from this older post: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/54393-junker-ruh-nr-22-sd28-adjustment/?tab=comments#comment-348313 Though that machine is still a lot different then mine. My machine doesn't seem to have a clear model stamped anywhere. Though it has: 'S 918' engraved on the smaller circle in the first picture. Also it seems like there's a 7 stamped into the metal right next to the big metal flap(spring?) on second picture. The machine seems in very good condition though i haven't been able to sew anything (most likely because of my own incompetence hahah). It seems to use the same curved needle the Nr22 and SD28 use. Is there anyone that knows some more about this machine? Kind regards, T Middelbosch Edited September 8, 2021 by Middelbosch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisash Report post Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) There is quite a lot of information on the SD28 machine on this forum, the main thing is the very hard to find needles and from other comments they seem to consider about £7. $8 ish per needle if you ever find one Fair bit on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=SD28 Edited September 9, 2021 by chrisash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Price per needle isn't cheap but it could be worse i guess haha, don't expect to break one daily. Kind regards, T Middelbosch 9 hours ago, dikman said: What a beautiful little machine! It is indeed! Mechanically still very smooth too considering it's age. Kind regards, T Middelbosch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
