Yes, it is him. I received an email reply with some additional information...
Not mentioned in the ad: It has a 9" arm as measured from the needle to the frame. A good amount of workspace for a hand crank machine. The presser foot raises to 3/4" and you can sew to over 1/2" of leather,nylon, canvas etc. Also thread sizes from 69 to 346. The Cub is a full rotary machine with a 10" crank arm for good leverage. The Cub is simple and very easy to use and it makes a great looking stitch. See attached photos.
