Members piddler Posted February 1, 2013 Members Report Posted February 1, 2013 I can pick this up from a guy who buys storage lockers, for a really good price. Might just get it to make a profit since with all my other stuff I'm running out of room. Whay do y'all think? Quote Old Guy that can't see too well anymore.
rickybobby Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I guess it would depend on the "really good price". If you are into doing much work with leather, a patcher machine is a "keeper". There are some things you can sew with it that no other machine can do. A "small arm" cylinder machine is one of the 3 sewing machines a leather shop cannot do without. Think about it before selling it. They don't come around that often for a "really good price". Quote Rick
Trox Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) It totally depends of the price, it is a Chinese clone machine. We use it for repairs and do not need expensive versions. A shoemaker will need it, however, there is a lot of these machines available in other brands. Whats the price?

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted February 1, 2013 Members Report Posted February 1, 2013 I say get it, and keep it for that price, looks like it was hardly used at all. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Trox Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, thats a good price, It looks like new.

Members piddler Posted February 2, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2013 I went ahead and bought it. This thing has no marks on it, its basically new. Sore need some more room in my little shop tho. Quote Old Guy that can't see too well anymore.
Members billymac814 Posted February 2, 2013 Members Report Posted February 2, 2013 Looks good, I woulda bought it for 600.00. I couldn't go without a patcher. One of these days ill have me a new Claes but for now I have an Adler long arm and a Singer short. If I remember correctly those Consews sell for around 12-1300 on eBay brand new so I'd say you did good. People who don't pay their storage fees are pretty dumb. Or I should say people who don't get their good stuff out before not paying their storage fees are dumb. Quote www.mccabescustomleather.com
Members b2k Posted February 2, 2013 Members Report Posted February 2, 2013 Hi, what are the specs of this machine? I can find one for a good price too, but I need to know if it will sew around 10, 12 mm of veg tan leather. Thanks! Quote http://www.facebook.com/scallywagleather
Trox Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 I echo what Billymac says. You cannot do without a patcher, it does the sewing job all my other machine fails to do. I have a long 29K-72 and a short arm Adler 30.
