mwebert Report post Posted May 13, 2012 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). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Durkopp-Adler-69-373-Industrial-Sewing-Machine-with-Walking-Foot-/350565074606?pt=BI_Sewing_Machines&hash=item519f4e86ae#ht_8969wt_689 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HTH Bob 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.
