Does anyone know what the diameter and thread the needle clamp screw on a D9 is? The one in the clamp on mine has been used so long that the rounded end is now flat and about 1/8" too short. I'd like to find a replacement that will hold the needle in the clamp.

Hi all, greetings from the Black Fly Republic! Working on cleaning up our first #9 and note that there is a brake. It was tied up out of the way when we got it--somebody apparently wanted to go backwards--but it doesn't work so well. From the looks of the remnants, it appears that something was nailed to the bottom of the wooden brake--felt? Would appreciate any input. Lord knows I need the brake on these things! Thanks, Ziggy

I’ve inherited a W&W D9 from my mother-in-law. This is the treadle version still in the original tiger oak seven drawer table. It’s pretty beat, but it is still VERY cool. i just downloaded the manual and need to learn how to take the bobbin out. Some of the accessories and one needle were left in the drawers. The belt for the treadle drive is just shot, in pieces due to age and non-use. Won’t be able to play with it right away because we are trying to move, but I cleaned surface crud and packed/wrapped it to stay safe in the meantime. Does anyone know of a good place to buy replacement treadle belts? I’m currently in Texas, but moving back to Florida. Here are some pictures:

Hey all. I’m having issues with threading my 9. I’ve followed the manual but it’s just not working for me. I’ve attached a link to photos that will hopefully help. I realize I haven’t finished threading the machine in the first pics, but the first two are just to show how I’m threading the thread guide since it’s the problem area. The third photo is showing what happens to the thread in the thread guide when I try to thread the rest of the machine. It gets pulled and then slips off to the side. The final photo is a pic of all of it threaded. You can see the problem I’m running into with the thread guide there as well. This is making the thread constantly break! I’ve watched many videos in the event that I’m threading it wrong but it appears everyone threads it the same as I do… Thank you for any help. I hope the link works! edit: I don’t thread the machine with the presser foot down. I had lowered it for the photos just by reflex. I thread with the presser foot up every time. https://imgur.com/a/cRmVRtB

Confession: I kind of screwed up a week or two ago, because I don't know enough about the differences between the No.9 variants. It turns out that some cabinets made specifically for the D-9 won't hold the earlier No.9. In particular, the nice little mirror-front treadle cabinet I picked up won't hold my 1889 No.9. (The big iron snout that supports the bobbin case clamp, and the curved extended slide plate, both interfere.) You'd think I'd know better! And ... also ... it turns out I've even more out of room than I thought I was. Oops. I'll attach one picture here, but there are more at my website: https://projects.foxharp.net/sewing_machines/index.html#wheeler-and-wilson-mirror-cabinet It's not very big, just 18"x22" and under 29" high. (It's a sibling to the "bookcase" cabinet, if you've seen one of those.) It had some loose veneer on the top that I've hide-glued back down, to keep it from getting damaged further. The whole cabinet has a bit of rake to it, which keeps the door from closing properly without a bit of a tug, but it's fine otherwise. All the treadle bits are there, and the mirror is in good shape. And did I mention it's free? So: help me get this thing out of my garage! Anyone in the northeast (say, anywhere northeast of New Jersey) interested? Please say yes! :-) I may even be able to help with transport. paul =---------------------- paul fox, pgf@... (arlington, ma, where it's 81.7 degrees)
