Im in the Usa, and the asking price is much cheaper than any used industrial walking foot I could find in my area at $500. It comes with a table (which is a bit rundown), a servo motor, a speed reducer, a few different feet, and various threads for me to test around with.
I called numerous dealers, repairs shops, friends, searched around online and wveryone i spoke to said they either didnt have any available, or only sold new ones. My two next options from this machine would be a new consew 206rb with a servo and table at $1600, or a new sailrite package at $1100-1300. Im also looking to get an overlocker, so saving the cost difference would really help me out with that.
The machine was just recently oiled a few days ago, and that helped clear up some squeaking. Its gone through two owners now. The original owner made pillows with it (im not sure if they made them commercially or just for hobby). The 2nd owner (who i am buying it off) rarely used the machine, as they did most of their sewing by hand and never got around to figuring out the proper workings of the machine. I was told they used it more around 10 times through its 2 year lifetime with them. Though, only had it oiled once or twice in the 2-year span they had it - I believe this is what has been causing squeaking.
Lifting the machine up, there was a bunch of gunk sewing oil built up around and about, but i figure i could remove the majority of it fairly easily. Besides cleaning this, the thread stand and rest peg need replacing, but thats only a 20-$30 fix. Ive attached the picutres i have available below.
Are there any videos or guides around on how to take off the top to look inside? This would be my and the owners first time trying to do this so we unfortunately have no clue.
Thank you for the help kgg!
