Default Another large priority box of "neat stuff" . . .

OR - I did it again . . .

funny part - I never actually looked at all the pictures, so didn't realize I was getting most of the Industrial table stuff - I did see the knee lift, but not the rest.

Sad part - the box showed up with a hole in one corner, and at least five items slipped out. Luckily the ONE item I was really after wasn't one that went missing.

So here it is -



an interesting assortment - what had caught my eye was the collection of Back clamp feet



and this one in particular





It's a back clamp Dooley foot with slide. I've got several of these for different machines so this one is a nice addition.

And yes, that is a Bernina 830 Record in the background.



I'll tell about that one in another post . . .

Way cool. Neat attachment. Now you will have to show all the fancy things it can do. I have been wanting to play with some of these old attachments. I'm thinking it is similar to the Singer "slant-o-matic" attachment. I don't have one, but have read about it. I also recently came across a pdf for the Dooley when searching for tips on using the hemstitcher and fagoter.
It looks like the ruffler might be the five-stitch one similar to the ones that came with Puzzle boxes. Does it have the little wheel to adjust the ruffles?

The top clamp ruffler is the "next generation" from the style that came in puzzle box style #11. The 66 came out after Singer discontinued using the puzzle box. I've got back clamp rufflers in three or four styles- as Singer kept tweeking the design.

Nice haul!

Is the industrial clutch an old Atlas, J&K, or some other brand? I’m thinking about using that type of clutch for machine control when I try to rig up my bicycle-powered sewing rig. I had an Atlas that really surprised me on how easy I could “feather” the clutch for slow speed sewing.

I have a Bernina 830 parts machine. The cam gear is broken.

I don't think I've ever seen the style on the left before. Do you know who made it?

The industrial stuff is marked J&K.

Here are some of my back clamp rufflers - all Simanco (Singer).



The middle one of these three has the shirr plate removed.

Thanks for the J&K info...

Here’s a view of my rufflers to compare with yours. I think you have both of these.
