National Two Spool hook shuttle finger spring
 

I have a broken hook shuttle spring part# 180 and have had no luck locating one I believe it could be home made if I had dimensions for it. Also a picture of it installed in place would be a great help. The machine belongs to an elderly person and I would like to repair it for her. I work on many vintage sewing machines but this is my first two spool experience. The spring wire is about .014 x 5/8 inch if I have all it's pieces. Suggestions and questions are welcome. Thanks to everyone.

I left out part of the description.. It is hook shuttle finger spring part # 180. Thanks

ditto what miriam said, there are a few people over there that fabricate parts. They aren't quilters though, so don't visit here every day like some of us do LOL!!

I have two of these that are quite a few years apart and they take different cans, so I don't know if the part you are talking about would be different based on model. I think there are three or four "versions" of this machine.

Thanks for reply.. My machine uses the split locator that is visible on the bottom outside of the spool can. I believe it is called the #2 can.
