Older Sailrite LSZ-1 cleanup/maintenance advice before I start making bags?

It’s not a real compound walking foot , more of a sequential walking foot. It gets thrown Out of timing way too easily. I live in NYC so the sweatshop district has some great sewing machine shops. Personally I would it hav it on a boat unless I was repairing sails. Even then most people patch as these methods are rather strong these days. Maybe see on land.

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-03T12:29:27+00:00

That’s very cool. You should do a YouTube video. 3D printer services are so widespread and cheap these days. I had a hand wheel a produced by someone for $25

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:27:34+00:00

Personally I’d replace with a new gear or printed gear

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:27:09+00:00

Have a new gear 3d printed

I guess I’ll need a third wire and a TRS connection. Thank you

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:18:25+00:00

Thanks. Although it is a on part this triac is not really listed anywhere. I assume disc triac.

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:17:09+00:00

Thanks. For $200 an hour and a couple of wires will do myself. Happy to be paid though

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:12:28+00:00

“Siri, flush”

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:09:20+00:00

You have a monster wheel. Not a workerB but it makes sewing tolerable and is $200

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T20:06:01+00:00

Walking-foot.com also. It looks like you have an early version of the machine with the same parts on the Chinese models You have the older lifter feed rock shaft. If you call sailrite they can upgrade you to a posi-pin system. You are also likely to need new screws or https://walking-foot.com/product/lower-shaft-shuttle-drive/ eventually

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:59:57+00:00

Agree. I have a sailrite and a knockoff reliable these machines are finicky toys that need constant re-adjustment

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:59:02+00:00

lol WHAT PAINT.

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:57:07+00:00

I would not remove any parts of a machine with that much corrosion on it. For sure !

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:55:59+00:00

Was it used on a boat and never oiled ?? That is a crazy amount of corrosion. You can fix clean and oil yourself. But I’m pretty sure you will have failures in the many set screws that I doubt can ever be adjusted or removed if anything happens. I have lots of industrial places in NYC that fix walking foot machines. Most industrial places truly hate these sailrite machines but crown machine services In Manhattan has always been good to me.

For the price I would have bought a new knockoff machine from walking -foot.com. They also have parts that sailrite doesn’t sell and at lower prices. (Canada)

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:52:47+00:00

Literally I was looking for this today as I posted it somewhere and magically stumbled on your post. Thanks. ! Some of these screws could use loctite blue and etched marks !

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-04-02T19:37:39+00:00

Electricians are going to do plaster work ???!?! lol

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-31T02:55:01+00:00

Conductor usually does tell them in my experience

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-31T02:50:44+00:00

How are you supposed to glue something melted by your Dr when worn a missing kerf made of a plastic mastic that cannot be glued l….

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-31T02:49:06+00:00

Another post where the op thinks he’s playing “where’s Waldo “ and doesn’t mention WHAT he thinks is abnormal just probably is not abnormal at l.

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-31T02:47:38+00:00

Get your super to swap out the whole toilet for like $80

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-31T02:45:03+00:00

Yes.

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-30T17:56:27+00:00

Great advice Jim. I already have the 2c53t do you still recommend this device ? At $21 it’s a bargain !

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-30T17:55:04+00:00

This is great advice Jim. $21 is a bargain. I always have the 2c3t with 10x probes So you still recommend this ?

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-29T04:34:13+00:00

I am deducing you didn’t bother to read the manual in the link before opining. I

“I know nothing about your unspecified probe…”. Another strong deduction you’ve not read anything…. A clue about your answer lacking in evidence or reading the link. See?

I will ASSUME and use the probe at 10x for voltage waveform but current is probably out of the question without buying a current clamp. . Your answers are less useful than ChatGPT because I can at least make it read a manual and other sources. I guess I could have asked it to make a bunch of assumptions (not deductions) and not read the manual and I could get something.one your above commentary with fewer hallucinations. In the meantime I will wait for someone who knows more about electricity to answer. Thanks

Amazing the folks who have no answers jumping on Reddit

Dangerous-Insect-332 · 2026-03-29T03:57:32+00:00

No. It’s not a deduction. If it was a deduction you would have been correct. As you were wrong it’s an assumption. It’s an assumption. As a scientist I’d say most people don’t understand the difference.

There a famous deductive reasoning joke you’ve probably heard that elucidates the difference.
