$1,400 used?

Juki does make some models in their line up in China, and country of manufacture is written on the model label.

DNU-1541 series have never been made in China, to date.

I sell those with FESM-550S servo motor setup complete ready to sew, complete with six month machine/one year motor warranty, store walk in price of $1,485.

So, that's what I think of that price.

Eric, thanks for posting the pictures. There are noticeable differences between the two plates. The one from China has the serial number printed, the one from Japan stamped. Sounds like I should just buy a new one from Gregg at Keystone Sewing. Couldn't cost a lot to ship it to St. Louis. I see $1610.00 on their web site.

Here you go Steve. The plates are the same size and are both riveted to the casting. I've heard of some folks taking the blue Juki decals off and putting them on clones. I guess another good reason to go through a reputable dealer if you're unsure.

Regards, Eric

Juki has done that with some models. First one that came to mind that was a surprise was their popular DDL-8700 series, that, originally, was coming from Japan. They have since switched the manufacture of the DDL-8700 to China some time ago, and now offer the DDL-5550N from Japan. It's funny how nobody makes any announcements they just show up with a different country of origin Kind of like switching overnight Toyota Japan, to China without prior notice. Nobody advertises "New, now made in China!" when the switch is made. I'm not singling out Juki, just about all of our suppliers have done this at some point in recent years with their products.
