I’m in Philly but can travel east coast I would call the Leather Machine Co ( 1 909-930-5259 ) and ask them where and if they have a dealer close to you. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Members Ingrid H Posted January 29, 2023 Members Report Posted January 29, 2023 If you can't find a Cobra to try, there may be a sewing machine store near you with a clone such as Cowboy, TechSew, or Juki. Quote

Members Joon1911 Posted March 22, 2023 Members Report Posted March 22, 2023 Tandy Leather is carrying private label versions of Cobras. https://tandyleather.com/products/cobra-class-4-dream-machine It looks like there’s one in Philly. Store #181 at 11000 Roosevelt Blvd., 19116 I bought direct from Cobra Steve during the big Cody show. He used to offer a show discount of a few hundred off. Don’t know if he still does that discount, but every bit helps. Freight was expensive 12 years ago, it gotta be triple now considering fuel cost. If you like the machine, I’d suggest calling Steve and ask him if there is anything different in the specs for the private label Tandy version. If he says there’s no difference, I’d buy local if at all possible. Quote "Make every product better than its ever been done before. Make the parts you cannot see as well as the parts you can see.

DonInReno Posted March 23, 2023 Report Posted March 23, 2023 There is a Cobra 4 in Ohio in the for-sale section. Quote
