toxo Posted March 26, 2024 Report Posted March 26, 2024 Got a phone call today tom say I've got a pallet coming tomorrow. "What's on it?" Says I. "Don't know" says she, "we're just the courier". Dare I hope it's my sewing machine, come to visit me from China? Thing is, I was told the ship wouldn't be docking until March 30th and then I didn't know how long to my door. If it is the captain has done well to avoid all those missiles so well done. I'm beginning to get excited. Quote

That is get news. Before you sew anything oil the hell out of it just in case there are any filings / dirt inside. Was the delivered cost what you expected or were there any additional surprise costs like brokerage/duties/etc. 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 DieselTech Posted March 27, 2024 Members Report Posted March 27, 2024 Yeah I'm curious too what this machine cost all said & done & delivered. Let's see some pics after you get it all put together. Quote
AlZilla Posted March 28, 2024 Report Posted March 28, 2024 Nice surprise. Looking forward to pics and a report. We're all living vicariously through you!

toxo Posted March 28, 2024 Author Report Posted March 28, 2024 Update! Everything done except the drop down guide which is a nightmare. loadsa strange looking bits and no structions. Not for the main build either. Had to match up all the screw holes. Had a little sew, was good off the bat. Oh and still have the needle positioner to do as well. More later. Quote
toxo Posted March 29, 2024 Author Report Posted March 29, 2024 (edited) First demerit - threaded hole missing for the L shaped rod that arrests the needle positioner. Not much of a problem, just annoying. On the plus side there's a QR code on the side of the machine that instantly gives you the instruction manual. The drop down guide has defeated me. If anyone has a pic or anything that makes sense out of this - Please. Just messing with the foot pedals at the moment. Just tweaking really. Gonna take some getting used to, having a pedal instead of a knee pad for the presser foot. The flatbed is good and simple to put on. The arm is a bit chunky compared to some but I guess it has to be to house the massive 28mm bobbins and I can't say I've ever needed the thin one on the Adler 69. I will do a video when it's all done. Edited March 29, 2024 by toxo Quote
