This is a Fairly New Page, as the old one was too crowded, and the images were squabbling amonst themselves noisily...
These are for the (generally older) machines with Transverse (side-to-side, boat shuttles mostly) or Oscillating / Vibrating (front to back, "bullet" shuttles mostly) action, and long bobbins
If you don't know what you have, send an image, please
PLEASE NOTE - the images on this page are not to scale...
Page completely rebuilt while on holiday in Scotland, May 2017... Phew! Then added to mightily in the Latest Big Stocktake and Moveitalong Thing of 2019, still counting, and again in August 2021, with many many additions...
And again in 2023 and 2024, as the boxes were grumbling mightily, yet again...

Some things have been moved, follow the Other Types link above to find them. It's always worth asking, too...
These tend to be what-you-see-is-exactly-what-you-get, as condition varies so much with the older machines.
Please try to buy machines with the plates on, but if you have one or more missing ACCURATE measurements are essential
Generally, Transverse Shuttle types at the top of each section

Sorry, I don't normally split pairs or sets; unless you want the back only from a VS set...
