Econosew -Juki 360 Jc ?

[deloid]

I am still looking for a machine (or two) for a wide range of sewing. Most will be the equivalent of sewing belts, pouches etc...

I still have the advice that was given to me (thanks Wiz) but haven't gotten a machine yet- still sew by hand.

Someone locally is wanting to sell their Econosew/Juki 360 JC. It has the motor and table and says Econosew on a larger plate then Juki 360 JC on a smaller plate. As I understand it, this is a lower level factory type machine made by juki.

The machine works well and the price is about 1/2 off ($700). It is tempting to get but I cannot find any comments on this particular model.

A little help would be appreciated.

This machine has it's speed control via a foot pedal. Is this the same as a servo motor or is this simply a variable rheostat with decreased power with decreased speed? Clearly I don't know much at all about sewing machines- any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you get this machine?  I just discovered it and am also looking for a machine that is not more than I need to sew leather purses.  Just trying to learn from your experiences since your post!

Thanks!

No, I got the Cobra 4 then later the Cobra 18. I've been really happy with these. Sorry this is so late but I didn't know about this notification until today.
