Re: My machine
So, you have a machine, but you live on Mars, perhaps? Or Alaska? Or Georgia? I'm in the UK, will I want to buy this? These are rhetorical questions, of course. Please bear in mind that this is a

Re: Hello
Hi Libby; The serial number on that W&W #3 should date it to 1870. My #3 in a half case treadle is also an 1870 model, though a slightly lower number at 487,972. As to the handwheel for the 401G I see

Re: Hello
So my hubby and I have been mulling over machining a treadle part for the 401g. Someone mentioned that the original was made of steel and using aluminum was too light and inefficient. My husband

Re: Hello
Well my estimate of her age was way off. Sereal number 500987. If my husband could get his calipers on one of those parts for the 401g he could machine one for me. I guess they are few and far

Re: Hello
Hi Libby; The W&W serial number should fall between 220,319 & 270,450 if it is an 1866. There is of course no factory records for these machines. There is a SN chart for them up through 1876 which was

Re: Introduction and awaiting my first Wheeler and Wilson
Hi Carolyn; Understand when the hook picks the needle thread up it has to carry it around the bobbin. There must therefore be enough clearance between the bobbin case & the holder for the thread to

Re: Introduction and awaiting my first Wheeler and Wilson
The D9 bobbin did fit the 9 holder, although obviously it sticks out a bit more, but I also haven't threaded it yet due to the bobbin winder casualty so will see what adjustment has to be made for

Re: Intro, new W&W No.8 owner
