Anyone Recognize This Machine?

I picked up the machine yesterday. She is a beauty. The previous owner said the brand was "tank" (at least I think that is what she said). I can't find any info on a brand by that name. Perhaps I am spelling it wrong? Has anyone heard of that brand?

Leightons in Canada sold a series of machines called the "Mach" series.

Pretty sure from the photo that it is a Mach 2 sold by Leightons in Canada.

It is a High lead Model 0618 machine. Same to Cobra Class 18 same to Artisan 618 same to Cowboy 0618.

All same machines.

Only thing to look for on these machines is if they have the safety clutch. Some do and some do not.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Thanks! That is exactly where she said she got it. It does have a safety clutch. So far I am really pleased.

Brand names really are not relevant. The 0618 class is essentially a Mitsubishi walking foot with an "M" class bobbin and 192/193 series feet.One of the big things to check is that the shuttle positioning finger is where it should be as quite often they are right on the edge of the shuttle if the dealer has not set up the machine properly.
