Please read CowboyBob's replies numbers 17 and 29, in this topic, on page 2. He is a Juki dealer and called Juki to find out if they have produced a model 441s (short arm) for sale in the USA, or anywhere else. According to Bob, in reply 29, their response was "no" - meaning that the seller, or his intermediate supplier, has installed a decal with the word "Juki" on some other brand of 9 inch 441 clone.

I was trying to politely say has anybody told the seller its a fake and we know it, or contacted ebay about a counterfit. Juki may even be interested in seeing it as some companies defend their name viciously. It a good thing I work with my hands and not my words. I wasn't questioning our experts, and the thing looks fishy to my novice eye as well, I think somebody pointed out the "sticker" model plate and that the real ones are rivited.

Sorry for my confusion

The last picture on the ebay ad pretty much proves it is not a Juki. The finish on the parts is rough as guts and Juki would not let it out of the factory looking like that!

Like quite a few already posted, the 1st thing I thought after viewing images of the machine was that I've never seen a Juki like that.

So much for pics, got involved and forgot all about them. I'll post some finished pics in a few.

The dealers and experts here are all trying to say the same thing: If in doubt - beware!

If you know your way around a machine and are only looking at light usage then a dodgy machine might be ok. There are times I have paid $20 for a Chinese machine head hoping to use it for parts and found that I have paid $30 too much.

The EBay seller (robert97....) has changed the name of the fake Juki nine inch machine to Econosew 441S, I guess he saw the lawsuits closing in.
