Members Constabulary Posted August 2, 2015 Members Report Posted August 2, 2015 You don´t give much information and no pictures so we can just guess. Due to the number I´d guess it is a Juki 563 just relabeled for Chandler (they also relabeled Adler machines and maybe others too). Price depends on the over all condition, how it is set up, if it comes with accessories or not and what kind motor is installed. Not sure if all Juki 563 had a reverse mechanism so I´d check that. W/O knowing any of the details I´d say between $400 and $800 when bought from private. Check how the condition of the timing belt is. Replacing it is a bit of a pain but it is doable. And test sew the machine with materials you are going to sew regularly. Juki 563´s are for sure a very good machines for sewing materials up to 8-10mm max.
