JUKI 1508

Recommended Posts

I AM LOOKING AT GETTING A JUKI 1508, BUT THERE ARE NO LETTERS AFTER THE 1508. LIKE 1508NS, 1508N, 1508NH, JUST 1508 DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

Do you have photo of the machine or nameplate? I did see a Chinese clone machine being advertised awhile ago and on a quick look the name was in the same place and style as Juki but had I think added a letter to the name. I thought it was done that way to give someone the impression it wasn't a clone. The nameplate on a Juki will clearly show the model as  "LU-1508N" or "LU-1508N*"  * being another letter. Another thing is the letter could have been worn/rubbed off.

It is too good of condition to be worn off, it has no letter/letters behind the 1508 at all. Could it be a European model?

There was one advertised back in 2018 that showed the nameplate with just the LU-1508 so maybe the older ones that didn't have the heavier capabilities were labeled without a letter after the 1508.

Yep, Just Lu-1508 that is it. Do you know anything about that model? They want $450 for it.

If it was in good working condition and would match what I wanted to sew, I wouldn't hesitate on getting it. The price is good. A good video to look at is:

That is one from the first year they came out.  I have that exact model.  About 13 months after they were introduced, Juki made a few changes and the new one was a 1508N.

the cover on the end of the head was hinged but not on mine.  They changed the casting on the top of the machine a little.  the changes were improvements.
