dirtclod Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I would get another Ferdco Pro 2000. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted July 25, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 25, 2011 If money was no barrier, I would definitely buy a Campbell High Lift needle and awls stitcher, with all available accessories and lots of linen and polyester thread. My second machine would be an authentic Adler 205-374, with all accessories.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted July 25, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 25, 2011 I am very happy with my Ferdco 2000 also. My flat bed is Ferdco's version of the 1245 and like that one a bunch too. I had an Alder 205-64 that was heck of a good one too.

Moderator Art Posted July 26, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 26, 2011 I've got a Campbell, and it serves me very well. I have two Highleads which also are very nice machines, one of them does heavy blankets and tents and takes a beating, the other one is set up for leather and is honestly better treated, never a problem with either one. I guess if I had to, I would get Dan at Campbell to have them rebuild me a Cyclone.
