quinatt Report post Posted August 25, 2013 So im gonna get a sewing machine. after some research, ive decided a consew 206 should be able to do what i need. I found some in a convenient location for $700 with the standard clutch motor. The guy says they are just a 206. not an rb 1,2,3 etc. i plan on putting in a servo motor based off what i've read on here. he says they run great and come with the table. Is this a good price considering im gonna replace the motor, or would i be better off to continue searching for one with the servo motor already on it? Im assuming these machines were the first machines made in the 206 line, is there anything that i should be careful of buying these older ones vs the rb-2,3,4 etc. Thanks for any advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted August 25, 2013 By the time you buy a servo motor and new belt and pay shipping, you'll be well over $800. This, for a 20 year old first of its kind machine. For about $500 more, you can get a brand new series 5 Consew, with a warranty and new servo, already set up and ready to sew. Just sayin'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quinatt Report post Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) thanks wiz. I would actually be picking it up with no shipping costs. from what i understood, some people werent liking the newer 206s due to them being made in china? i thought the older machines were more sought after? i appreciate the advice though, makes sense Edited August 25, 2013 by quinatt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
