That seiko looks very similar to my typical tw1 899 machine which is also similar to a brother machine. The typical machine I have is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it more, I also have a juki 1508(?) at work and the typical is nicer.It seems to be smoother, less fussy and just easier to use. I guess it would be like driving a lexus compared to a ford. I use it for auto upholsery so sometimes up to eight thicknesses of leather which it copes with fine.

Thank you keithski122. Yes they do look very similar don't they. Also, the model variants around the Seiko are almost identical to those of your Typical. 

I'm glad to hear it's working well for you. I found a commercial upholsterer who has 20+ of the same machine and their experience has been really good too. 

Since the machine and its parts are readily available here, it's now on my shortlist for sure.

Cheers!
