Quiltingboard Forums - Found a machine for free!

Welcome to Quilting Board. I see you are in Norway any where near Drøbak? There is a member on another board that is from there and has quite a few vintage and antique machines.

You sure are lucky! It looks like it may be a transverse shuttle machine based on the serial number and probably a year later according to https://www.fiddlebase.com/german-ma...ting-gritzner/ Sometimes the machine may have had the cases switched out. Also, many times one company would make the machine and then the seller would put some other name or badge on the machine. The badges that would be on a Gritzner machine would have one of the badges on the lower pillar as seen near the bottom of the page at https://www.fiddlebase.com/german-machines/gritzner/ Some of the other German badges for both makers and distributors can be seen at http://needlebar.org/main/logos/index.html And here is a list of German makers and machine made or distributed http://needlebar.org/main/makers/germany/

There is also this German site that has Gritzner as well as many others (as listed on the sidebar) https://www.naehmaschinenverzeichnis...inen/gritzner/

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button. As shown at https://www.quiltingboard.com/8565676-post4.html

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.

Some additional notes -
The photos generally need to be reduced to less than 2MB in size. I have heard of people sending an email to themselves as it will ask if you want to reduce the size.

I have an android phone and when I tried to reply on Quilting Board while in mobile view None of the options for adding pictures was available. However, there is an option down at the bottom left of the page that is for Full Site when I tapped on "Full Site" It then looked like the way it looks on my lap top. So it would have the Red Reply and the Go Advanced options.
