And I would not be surprised about that quality. The German made TS machines are some of the best sewing machines ever made. Frister & Rossmann is my personal fav of the TS machines
If you are interested in this and want to give it a go, I'll post more pictures. And there's a serial number, of course. Stein |
Sure, open up a new thread for the mystery German Machine!

Will someone please enlighten a foreigner:
I keep reading about people meeting for TOGAs. I guess they are not referring to Roman dress style and they are not meeting for cocktails. So what is a TOGA? Do I want one? Stein Sharon in Texas |

hmmmm.. Have you looked up in the receiver hole? may be gunk in there. I'll check my stock to see what I have in the needle department.
To confuse matters more: I think you can find different thickness S12 shanks, maybe som needles will work. |
That is a beautiful machine and table, would love one of those in my living room, hope you get the needles you need.

Stein, It is likely Treadlelady is out of Schmetz 12x1 and is selling NBx5. I am not sure of the dimensions, but it is listed as a replacement.
12x1 dimensions are 1.04mm Shank diameter; 32mm to top of eye and 37.3mm length to eye. Alternate is Boye 23. If you give me an idea of where you are located, I can send you some needles. Contact me off list. |
Hi,
System 339 is equvalent to a 12x1 needle. The length and shank diameter vary slightly between needle makers but 1.30 mm shank is quite a bit on the large side but probably OK for some machines. One of these days I'll make it to the Gettysburg, PA TOGA and make a mini vacation there while I'm at it. Jon |
Jon, I am making every effort to get to the 2016 Lancaster PA gathering. Dates are June 24 & 25th. Planning to go straight from the NC Toga and spend time in Lancaster area with my husband earlier in the week. Hope you can make it.

Maria,
I forgot about the Lancaster TOGA and it's closer to me than Gettysburg. I was just in the neighborhood on Saturday picking up chocolate at Wilburs Chocolate Factory in Lititz, PA. I really should load up the car and raffle or give away some un needed stuff. These get togethers are a great idea. Jon |
