Wimsew W-0618-1 Walking Foot Sewing Machine - Staffordshire UK

[machineage]

Hi all!

Well, it's been a while since I posted...

I bought three machines a few years ago - see: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/88720-newby-bought-three-compound-feed-machines-which-one-to-keep/

Much has happened since, suffice to say I've not had a chance to sort the Singer or Durkopp 🙁

Anyway, space is now an issue, so I'm letting the Wimsew go. It's a walking foot / compound feed machine. I'm sure it's the same model as the one Matt sold: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/84816-used-wimsew-0618-1-sewing-machine-uk/

It's working, and in fairly good condition, but may need a service. It's on a Wimsew top, but with an older set of legs without castors (can castors be added I wonder 🤔). I thought I would offer it here to see if there's any interest, before popping it on eBay. I'm located in North Staffordshire, UK. I know a personal courier who could deliver it to the south coast (Bournemouth across to Chichester), and up north to Manchester / Sheffield / Leeds, possibly York, and most places en-route to these destinations.

No idea what to ask for it - advice welcome!

UPDATE: Price needed as per mod. requirement. £425?

Thanks!

Bumping - surely this has to be worth £275?

You're getting closer to a manageable figure I'd be comfortable parting with for a reliable machine (first time I've seen the post today not just waiting for a price drop).

I'll have to do a bit of reading up on the machine as I know nothing at all about them and need to check it would work for my specific interests but I'll shoot you a message if it would suit my requirements.
