Thanks kgg. I am looking for a lu563. There was one and a Brother LS2-B837 on FB Marketplace. 550 usd for the Juki and 400 usd for the brother. I sent about 9 messages and had no response. Then they vanished. I think I will pass and keep looking. My days start and end on Craig’s list and Facebook marketplace. I sure would like the 1541-s, but funds are a little tight for now. much appreciated all the shared wisdom.

Much appreciated Wizcrafts and kgg! I the Chandler is up for sale for $800. That seems a little too high to me. What do you think would be a good deal on the Chandler? Thx!

Uploaded is a pic of item being sold. Maybe that can help identify. Thx,

Hi, New to the forum and industrial machines (just have been reading and not posting, trying not to degrade signal to noise ratio). I am on the search for a used upholstery/leather capable machine (triple feed, reverse and hoping for larger bobbin) along the capabilities of a juki 1541, 1508, Lu 563 i plan on fabricating outdoor equipment and lighter leather (guitar/banjo straps, wallets, maybe bags. Definitely no thick holsters or equestrian gear) and upholstery of the interior of my pickup truck. Initially, this is all for hobby. Who knows where it will go after that, but I have no plans on running a full time business with products from the machine. It seems that I get ghosted when I reply to Facebook market place ad. Not sure why. I see a reliable MSK-1245b, which I think is a Chinese clone of an Adler 1245 and also a chandler/chandsew 200r. I believe the 200r is either a juki Lu 562 or 563 clone. I really cannot find much on them. does anyone have information on either of them? I am hoping to find a lu563 or clone (with large bobbin). And looking for availability of parts and instructions for timing/maintenance. It seems that if the chandler 200r is lu563 clone and take Juki parts, it would be good. But I really don’t know what I don’t know. And if I posted to incorrect forum, feel free to move to correct location. Thanks!
