qarawol Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 A co-worker ran across this at a yard sale. He did not get the model number or serial number and does not know when he will be back. He thinks they were asking $150.00 US for it. Can anyone here ID this for me so that I can read up on it a bit more. Pictures were taken from his cell phone to mine. THANKS! Njoy Life...

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 20, 2010 Moderator Report Posted October 20, 2010 That is a bartacker. It's only job in life is to apply a tight zigzag pattern across about 5/8". It is commonly used to secure velcro to vinyl items, shoes, or clothing. The machine is automated to sew this one pattern which is designed into it. You cannot use this type of machine for anything else.

Moderator Art Posted October 20, 2010 Moderator Report Posted October 20, 2010 It looks like a 169, a bartack machine older than most of us. I don't know if you would even be able to find parts for it. I would honestly make them pay me to take it away. Art A co-worker ran across this at a yard sale.

CowboyBob Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Both your other answers by Wiz & Art are correct,but if you DO need a tacker like that I just though I'd let you know parts are still available for it. This machine is also used for sewing belt loops on jeans. Bob Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
