Thanks Ron,

One more question, if I may? In the pics I posted is there any way to tell if it is a walking foot machine? The fellow I talked to on the phone did say it was a walking foot machine but I'll add that he knows less about it than I do and I'm purely going from hearsay.

From the pictures you can't really tell because you cannot see the presser foot very clearly. This is just a very well known model that's been used in the manufacturing industry for the last few decades.

If you'll visit the following link which is a guide to leather sewing machines, you can find photos of what a walking foot machine looks like:

If you can tell me where I should get the pics taken from the guy will provide them. Do you need a close up of the area of the machine at or around the business end/needle portion of the machine or of something else...motors etc...?

I've read Wiz's thread but it gets deep fast and I'm trying to pull off a great "deal" quickly, if it's the right deal.

I'm callin him now for more pics/info.

I appreciate your knowledge and help.

Liberty;

You are going to want to curtail your search to a triple feed walking foot machine, with a large bobbin, capable of sewing 3/8 inch with #138 thread, or even #207. This is the minimum requirement for the projects you have stated as in your plans.

The Juki you are looking into is not that type of machine. A Juki 1541 or 1508 is.
