Bobbin Winder Tire Friction Wheel - 29 mm x 15 mm x 7 mm #15287A

Already installed, after peeling off the rotted tire!

These bobbin winder friction wheels worked great on the two 401A I have been working on. They are nice and thick, a softer material than previous ones I bought from somewhere and when I was winding the bobbin, it did a better job staying consistent with the friction. I did have to apply just some slight pressure at the beginning of winding but then was able to do alone for the remainder. I am expecting these will also work better on my 201 when I get the motor remounted again as the other new tires I had never made proper contact without constantly holding it down in spite of adjusting th scew numerous times.

This was for my mom's Singer 66 from the mid 50s. When the original friction wheel rotted and broke she went looking for a replacement but all she found were new old stock that were cracked nearly as back as the one she was replacing. These are new and supple and should last many years.
