  1. I looked at those a few times over the past 2 years... Decided in end to buy an ISM SV71 as a test bed for a Seiko I have. I think I'd prefer that route?
  2. I would, but I think I could probably source 4-6 used 1341's for what I'd be into a 2341 for. Wouldn't mind having a 2341 though. I don't even really need a 1341, just with age I'm getting too lazy to change guides/jigs/binders. It's easier to just sit at whatever machine gets the work
  3. I always had better luck getting good money on Ebay. Some will drive to pick up. Might get just as much out of a head only and you can ship that in a heavy box or wood crate. Be careful though, I sold an Adler on Ebay (167) and it had a heavy impact somewhere along the line, I suspect UPS dumped it from the truck.....Ended up ordering a new OEM part for the buyer.
  4. I'd love to find a guide like this. Surely made in Japan? Either guide. The big swing away one on the arm as well.
  5. Those were my thoughts KGG. I've compared Chinese clones of big Adlers and Juki's and they're all lacking compared to originals. If nothing else, it's a pride of ownership thing. I'd rather sit for hours on end in front of a quality machine built in Japam rather than a Chinese Junker with a Juki badge. Of course I know Juki probably sources some parts outside of Japan, it's the way of the world these days.
  6. Hello, thinking to order one or 2 Juki Lu 1341's...I am curious if any of the late machines were made in China, or if they're all Japanese MFG?
  7. You might be right. Every time I watch a manufacturing video on youtube shot in Japan, I see the Usual Seikos and Jukis with some high grade attachments that I don't see in my typical shopping haunts....Or AliBaba. American importers import what's cheap and makes the best return.....
  8. Where can a person find a good quality drop down roller guide for a Seiko LSC-8? Something of very good quality made in USA/Japan, etc. not a Chinese cheapy?
  9. Anyone know where I could find a couple used leather horse carts? Eastern USA. Preferably steel. Plywood if well made. Wide top or standard. Hate to have to make a couple If I can source.
  10. I forgot to mention that when I looked at your photos last week I took a few sec. to look up the shop on Google just out of curiosity. Seems the owners held several thousand acres of land in the area, and the shop turned to making tops for cars in the 20's. Closed and was torn down in the 1930's to build a Standard Oil Gas Station.
  11. I have a 205-374 that is not cut for the synchronized binder. Some 205-374's could be, but not mine. $1200 is a pretty good buy all the same though. You could probably use a standard binder setup on it depending on your work.
  12. What's the machine in the lower right corner of the first plate?
  13. Did you ever find what you were looking for? I have one tucked in the drawer of one of mine. Parts list, some basic data, etc. Those machines are so simple you really don't need it. I'll see if I can maybe make you some copies. Used is tough to answer. I have a couple I bought during the recession for $250. I'd guess true market price today is probably $800.
  14. Looking for a small/narrow open toe presser foot for a Champion Harness Stitcher or Peerless 30, etc. Something with 2 toes (open toe) and in decent shape, not welded, brazed, etc. Hoping to save a little time finding a used piece so I dont have to make one. Thanks!
  15. Not entirely. If you're speaking as die making as a business, I know of a couple Yoder owned die shops that do business with outhouse phones and first class stamps. One in particular is pretty successful. I don't think the OP mentioned any business aspirations though, he just said "make his own dies."
