Members JimC Posted September 12, 2011 Members Report Posted September 12, 2011 I had not dealt with Robeson Sewing Machine in Tennessee before, but they had an Adler at a good price. With no developed expectations, I figured I would probably need TIG and a rolling toolbox before I got to sew... To my surprise, UPS Freight (I avoid regular Ground) rolled up with this! Yes, I was expecting the machine, just not careful attention to what happens between their shipping dock and my front door. The small print always says; "F-off. Take it up with the trucker." .. but the reality is, the shipper has to consider the trucker just found out his dispatcher - is dispatching the trucker's wife... or the guy running the forklift will certainly spear the base of a table held down with butcher's twine. In the age of the internet where we can rage about poor service, we should also pile on praise when merited. I have not had a machine this heavy in here for 20+yrs... A new toy that looks like a lot of fun. (I tell my wife it is 'work'.) Cheers. Jim Quote
Members JimC Posted September 15, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 15, 2011 Also got Bob at Toledo Sew Mach to send me one of his modified servo motors. Got a 51" narrow V-belt .. and it all works. I love servo motors, I am funny about the gratuitous noise of a constantly running motor. Jim Quote
