No affiliation - certainly not mine.

There's a Thompson Mini on Shopgoodwill

http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=14545997

It's here in Denver.

I went and had a look - it appears to be in great condition

It's in the original carton with original packing foam - has the manual and all.

Not something I could use but somebody here might want it.

They will ship

This machine is not acceptable for sewing leather. It is basically a toy. In my opinion.

Ouch. I can't argue, but it's pretty good for onsite job repairs, one guy who lived in a house boat who didn't have the space for an industrial for small jobs. They do have a place in life, but yes, 100% correct, they are not to be compared to an industrial production quality machine in any way.

I recently sold a Tacsew T111 to a guy who had been (for years) making golf cart covers using a Thompson Mini walker. He had a very profitable business, used it mostly for vinyl and canvas. He said the Tacsew T111 would be a real "Upgrade" for him, but did quite a bit with the Thompson mini-walker, and used it daily for years.

Can't comment myself on how well the Thompson works, never owned one myself, just sharing.
