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...)

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!

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.

Indeed - it looks like a repaint. I wonder why somebody would go to the trouble?

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.

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 :)
