Members TXAG Posted October 14, 2013 Members Report Posted October 14, 2013 Bartacks are also used in sport parachuting equipment and (more frequently) in manufacturing tactical nylon gear (it is used to create MOLLE / PALS webbing channels...) Quote
Members LewSchiller Posted October 14, 2013 Author Members Report Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) It's a cool find, but I like your idea of using the table for another machine And I think that's what I'll do. Interesting though. I was unaware of this class of machine prior to this. Never had any reason to look into them, In the words of Emil Faber, "Knowledge is Good" ! And besides... $50!

Members Gregg From Keystone Sewing Posted October 15, 2013 Members Report Posted October 15, 2013 BTW...269Ws were never painted white, the gray in the belt cover is the original paint color. Not that this matters in any way shape or form.

Only legit reason I've seen is so a machine can appear more 'modern' with the white paint, trying to increase value or interest from a buyer.

Members forbeskm Posted October 18, 2013 Members Report Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) One just came up in my neck of the woods. http://denver.craigslist.org/bfs/4135197231.html I'd get one if I had infinite garage space. This too was painted white too and not terribly well. I am dabbling in shoes but so far I don't see any need for a tacker, an outsole stitcher but not a tacker Edited October 18, 2013 by forbeskm Quote
