Any idea what model this is and if it might be appropriate for my needs? Assuming it's in good working condition, of course. Is it possible a 206rb?

Thanks for the information, everyone! I currently have a line on a singer 111w that I'm trying to get a good price for.

I messaged the seller on the Juki earlier today. They indicated they had two buyers firm at $550. I think I might go for it but it may not last long enough for me to pick up.

I know that there is a lot of information already out there for beginners to choose a machine. However, I thought someone may be able to offer some suggestions given my particular scenario: I generally work with 3-5 ounce chrome tanned. So, in most cases the maximum thickness I would ever expect to work with would be 10 ounce together. Here is a list of some machines I found locally: Bernina Record 830 - $450 Domestic 153 Singer 500A - $50 Singer 401A - $250 Singer 15-91 Pfaff 34-6/2bs Pfaff 360 Of course, I understand that condition plays a big role here. I am hoping to stay in the $500 range. I don't expect to run this machine heavily or often. And, as mentioned I will probably max out at 8-10 ounce chrome tanned. I am hoping somebody can provide some recommendations or insights with all of this information in mind.
