I have needle positioners on 3 of my main machines and one of those is a 1541S clone, it works awesome. Eventually every machine I have will have a servo with needle positioning. Once you get used to them you don't want to stitch without them! Gerald

Glad I read this post as I was just about to build and add a 3:1 reduction to one of my Sewquiet 6000 equipped machines and was not aware there might be issues with my needle positioner which I cant live without! Great forum and love reading the various posts! Gerald

I lucked out and found this nice super clean PFAFF 1295 at a local factory where it was used to sew leather mukluks and mocassins, I couldn't pay them fast enough to take it home! $1300 cdn or just over $1k usd. Its pretty sweet and once I get a new servo installed with needle positioning it will be awesome along side my other machines in either of my sewing spaces! Just plain crazy for machines! Gerald
