CowboyBob Report post Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Ken, Years ago we used to modify them to sew 3/4" of leather & sold alot of them,but from the factory as-is they'll do 1/2",it has a very large bobbin & can take large thread the biggest problem with them is the feet,they are large & will probably have to be narrowed down so you can sew close to things assuming of course you want to sew leather. We have most parts,needles & thread in stock for it. Bob Edited September 17, 2011 by sewmun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justken Report post Posted September 18, 2011 Thank you Bob. What needle system/size do these use? And is bobbin same as on 97-10?This machine has been setting in a barn for the last year.Was being used but not very much before that.It's in working condition,but no extra pasts,needles,bobbins etc.Any ideal how much it's worth?From what I could see everything looks "org",no new parts.It works freely,just really dirty.
