shoepatcher- I only have a photo of one of the other machines right now, but i can post the others tomorrow. I picked up a Pfaff 555 post bed, a Singer 168w101 post bed, a Singer 211u566a flat bed, a Singer 168 flat bed, a Merrow Overlock, and a couple of skivers (Consew and Fortuna). They all seem to be running decently, but could use a good cleaning. Also got a ton of brass hardware and machine attachments, some of which I have no idea what to do with or how to use. The price was a steal, so I couldn't pass it up. Also, I was able to find the original manual for the DA 269 among the stuff that he gave me, so that was a nice find as well!

Thank you both. I appreciate it. I am working on getting the info from Sew24blogspot.com. I'm happy to hear that this new machine can handle a larger thread size than my Consew 206rb. That will be very helpful here soon.

I was just noticing the white dots today on my 206RB, and wondered the exact same thing. The bobbin loading makes perfect sense. I've really just learned by looking at the presser foot position for bobbin loading and unloading. Did you get a good deal for the RB2? It looks brand new!

I recently acquired a number of sewing machines and skivers from an old man who used to work for Coach. Among them, the one that I was most seeking, is a Durkopp Adler 269-373, probably roughly 20 years old. I am having trouble finding a manual for this machine online, has anyone found any resources for such a thing? Also, can anyone help me to know the difference between this machine and, say, an Adler 69? I'm just curious what the benefits might be. Lastly, I am also looking for some accessories for the machine, seam and edge guides etc. Any help or assistance that one can give me would be greatly appreciated. It seems to well maintained with the exception that it is missing the cover on the outside of the machine near the needle arm. I'm guessing it isn't entirely necessary to operate the machine.

I'm looking for a manual clicker press, but I need one with a small footprint. Preferably one that is mountable on a workbench. Let me know if you're getting rid of one. Thanks! I'm open to a Weaver, Lucris, or similar design.
