Members Eddie1968 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 Well I have clearance from my financial advisor to purchase a machine. But I do have a budget unfortunately. lol. I can get the CB3200 at a shop in Dallas which is within driving distance. So I will probably do that. I found an Adler 205-64. Supposedly works good but thoroughly used. price is same range as a new 3200. Quote
Members BDAZ Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I purchased a 3200 on Wiz's advice and am thrilled with the machine and the direct support from Bob Kovar at Toledo. The machine was within my budget (just) took an hour to set up and start sewing. A small glitch developed within a couple of weeks which was immediately sorted and a defective part replaced by Bob with no down time. I have been able to launch a leather business based on this machine. At the moment sew a double layer of wet formed 5/6 oz veg tanned with two layers of glued suede lining which drops down to a single layer of veg tan and suede and the machine as no issues what so ever. I have also sewn decorative stitching on 3-4oz, again with no problems using a 207 thread and minor adjustments of the tension. Great machine, Great support, Happy Camper. Is it an Adler? No. Did I have to mortgage my house No.. Cya! Bob Edited March 12, 2014 by BDAZ Quote
