Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Why are the threads not tied to the Spool before they are wound? They used to be!!!! Does modern technology not allow for this to be done?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutthroat1000 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi I own a victor outsole machine I noticed vsm 13y stamped on the section where the oil feeder pops on,This is at the very top of the machine not the lid.I my self am looking for the way how to thread this machine it is similar to the No7 machine but not exact,I don`t understand when stated up above page 4 there are some dr threading diagrams,but I can`t find them,any help please with this issue, I have now discover the machine has a No 7 model 724 stand,well looks very similar,but the head is a No,2 known as the model 75,but does not have the casing shroud, Thank you for the pdf file on this No 75 model that is being allowed by all to down load, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I believe VSM13Y is the part number of the shuttle bearing cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutthroat1000 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 So where would I find the model number on my machine ,I have a repairers handbook and price list by Enterprise Bristol Derrick & Hosegoods LTD Bristol 1953, and in this book it show virtually my type of stand to the machine I own but the head in the book does not look like my one on the stand,The stand looks like the standard no 7 model no.724 I have, but the head on my outsole stitcher looks like the no 2 victor outsole stitching machine head but without its cowling cover,I think people call it the no,75 Questions for all please. 1)How do I buy threads for this machine if they only sell the thread to people who have there own business 2)Is the cord 4-6 or 7 ply/twist and would it be revers twist or not 3)Where would I pick up the Awl and needles for my machine, 4)As my machine has a hot wax pot at the front in the middle that screws in on the head,ive been told don`t bother using hot wax go to the other thread,but I don`t know what type, 5)How do I get schematics to the threading pathway on this machine,I ain`t got a clue. 6)And if it is the no,2 head where can I get info on how to work it properly I have not got an a clue on how to adjust any thing on the machine I NEED A SERVICE AND USER MANUAL. I would be so great-full for every ones input here please. I have just down loaded the no,75 model pdf greatly appreciated from Lee I think THANK YOU,And my machine seams to have these same mechanism threading path to it ,But the only thing with the pdf files it still seams hard for me to under stand the threading path as the pdf drawings don`t seam fine print and to some one who has never used a outsole machine be for I could do with a more clear drawing to follow, , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please give me some companies that are happy to sell the thread you mention to none trade person. And what company sell the AWL and Needles, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 We sell the thread, awls and needles you require and would have no problem supplying you, in fact, I believe you are already receiving info from my colleague Gary. But please remember, the machine you are talking about is probably 78-80 years old and manuals in pristine condition don't really exist, having said that, I believe we have sent you a scan showing the details of the threading If you need any further hep then please call us.
