Members 68Acres Posted January 4 Members Report Posted January 4 Hello! I have the opportunity to purchase a Taiko TK-813 post bed roller sewing machine. It has not been used in a couple of years, but I am told the last time it was used it worked fine. I’m sure it will need some tuning up. The seller is looking to get rid of it so is only asking $150. I can’t find anything on this machine and am not that familiar with post bed machines. I currently have a Consew 227 cylinder arm and Sailrite Fabricator flat bed machine. I’m curious if anyone knows what this Taiko is a clone of? I can’t find anything online about it and I’d want to know some of the specs as well as availability of parts for repair now and in the future before purchasing. Thanks in advance for any feedback on this machine! Quote
Members dikman Posted January 4 Members Report Posted January 4 Post beds being something of a rare animal at $150 I'd just grab it! Worth the risk, in my opinion.
