Durkopp Alder 69-373

[mwebert]

Anybody using a durkopp Alder 69-373 machine ? I'm looking at this one on eBay and would like some input. I'm looking for a light/medium cylinder arm unit for camping gear and sports gear modifications/repair (sons is a hockey goalie).

This unit is only a 1 hour drive so I could get a demo prior to purchasing. It looks like for an extra $300+$200 shipping I could get a cowboy or Techsew.

Thanks

They are good machines as long as you don't want to sew real heavy(over 5/16") or use anything bigger than #92.

Thanks.....Its worth an evening drive to take a look. If they are not willing to budge on price I'll have to save a little and go with the CB.
