Consew 206Rb

Recommended Posts

I was going to purchase a Cobra Class 4 or Cowboy 4500 and the sewing machine fund turned into my $#!+ happens fund, but luckily this little gem popped up on Craigslist. For 400$, this machine will sew everything I am working on right now, and when I save up to buy the bigger machine I will have all the bases covered from thin to thick.

Came with the left/ right foot, and regular harness foot, 6 bobbins, two spools of thread, extra needles, and few other goodies. Even had some old cowboy/magnum shells he used to make cartridge loops.

Neat thing is this belonged to the man who owned El Dorado leather holsters. I use to see his stuff in Guns and Ammo magazine growing up. He was a really cool dude. Rancher, contractor, leather worker, all around cool dude. They are retired and moving, so they are selling a bunch of neat stuff. I wish I had the money to buy all their old leather stock, templates, hardware, tools, forms, etc.

I gave his wife the info for this site, so she can put all that up for sale. He also had a Peerless 30 sewing machine for sale.


Anyone know what this little dude does?

That's the feed dog it's under the inside foot.

I saw that Consew on CL too. You got a good deal and that one was made in Japan. Wish I had some spare coin laying around and I would be interested

in some of the other stuff up for sale. Looks to me that little piece is a feed dog but I am no expert. Did he have any spare parts laying around?

I have a Champion Redline model out in the shed that needs some parts, looks a lot like the Peerless he has.

I have a Highlead model similar to that Consew 206 rb-1, I put a servo and speed reducer on it and love the control.

Good luck with it.

They had a bunch of stuff, she told me they had boxes and boxes in storage. His Peerless had Champion cast into one side, so they might be the same machine. I know he said he had the needles and such for that one.

I think I am going to give Bob a call when I save up a little money to get the servo motor. This thing takes off like a drag car when you push the pedal.

Definitely a few growing pains, but I am getting the hang of running it. I just wish they didn't happen on the bottom of the cover. :oops:

Thanks Bob, those two portfolios paid for all the accessories I ordered from you today.

Bob set me up with what will probably be a lifetime supply of thread for me, needles, edge guide, and a new servo motor today.
