I guess its time to find a new home for my Pro 2000. I retired from saddle making a couple of years ago due to arthritis progression and have finally decided to sell everything. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy the same machine...provided you could still get one. It has performed nearly flawless over my 25 year career. I have never had to have it timed or serviced for anything. It sat in the same place, in my house in a dust free, temperature constant environment for all those years. I've taken good care it, oiled it every time I sat down to sew, and I believe it has many many years left in it. This particular one does not have feed dogs. I'm not sure if the later machines did, but I surely never needed them. It has sewn over 300 saddles, stirrups, chaps, and all the accessories. As you can see from the pictures the stitching is beautiful. The only problem I ever had was with the shuttle hook not picking up nylon or cheap bonded thread . The good quality Dabond bonded poly thread sews like a dream. I don't even know where to get it anymore. The black and brown spools pictured are Dabond but the natural colored thread is from Campbell Bosworth. I think? It was poly bonded but not a very good quality. Anyway, if interested contact me through the forum and we'll talk. I live in Des Moines, Iowa and would be willing to deliver within a 200 mile radius of Des Moines. I would be willing to crate it and ship it on your dime but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Asking $3,500. Let's talk, I want to get it sold. Reasonable offers considered. If you want to see it sew we could arrange some Facetime time. Thanks for looking.
