Consew 206Rb

[Colt W Knight]

I was going to purchase a Cobra Class 4 or Cowboy 4500 and the sewing machine fund turned into my $#!+ happens fund, but luckily this little gem popped up on Craigslist. For 400$, this machine will sew everything I am working on right now, and when I save up to buy the bigger machine I will have all the bases covered from thin to thick.

Came with the left/ right foot, and regular harness foot, 6 bobbins, two spools of thread, extra needles, and few other goodies. Even had some old cowboy/magnum shells he used to make cartridge loops.

Neat thing is this belonged to the man who owned El Dorado leather holsters. I use to see his stuff in Guns and Ammo magazine growing up. He was a really cool dude. Rancher, contractor, leather worker, all around cool dude. They are retired and moving, so they are selling a bunch of neat stuff. I wish I had the money to buy all their old leather stock, templates, hardware, tools, forms, etc.

I gave his wife the info for this site, so she can put all that up for sale. He also had a Peerless 30 sewing machine for sale.

Anyone know what this little dude does?

That's the feed dog it's under the inside foot.

I saw that Consew on CL too. You got a good deal and that one was made in Japan. Wish I had some spare coin laying around and I would be interested

in some of the other stuff up for sale. Looks to me that little piece is a feed dog but I am no expert. Did he have any spare parts laying around?

I have a Champion Redline model out in the shed that needs some parts, looks a lot like the Peerless he has.

I have a Highlead model similar to that Consew 206 rb-1, I put a servo and speed reducer on it and love the control.

Good luck with it.

They had a bunch of stuff, she told me they had boxes and boxes in storage. His Peerless had Champion cast into one side, so they might be the same machine. I know he said he had the needles and such for that one.

I think I am going to give Bob a call when I save up a little money to get the servo motor. This thing takes off like a drag car when you push the pedal.

Definitely a few growing pains, but I am getting the hang of running it. I just wish they didn't happen on the bottom of the cover.

Looks pretty darn good to me!

Stitches came out perfect on the second padfolio. Really digging this new machine.

Looks great !!

Looks great !!

Thanks Bob, those two portfolios paid for all the accessories I ordered from you today.

Bob set me up with what will probably be a lifetime supply of thread for me, needles, edge guide, and a new servo motor today.
