Please contact me right away if you have this for sale or have any leads. Thanks. Joy Horvath bagstudio@aol.com Well I broke down and bought both machines from one person. .I got an Adler model 69-373 lightly used (made in Germany) for 1350., and a leather skiver(white) new copy of Fortuna 110v motor ,no vacuum(thank god..the noise was obscene)complete unit with table for 1000. bought both from Itzhak Erez at Miami Industrial Sewing Machines in North Miami Beach.I never met him in person, but he knows machines.I had a few long discussions with him about what I needed a machine to do. He is about 70 years old and really knows his stuff.I don't work on very very heavy leather.more like garment weight and up to a few ozs. I used to have some machines and explained what I had hated about the old machines. Itzak was right on it. He assured me that I'd be happy ,,,and I am.He is the best.When I'm in Miami in February, I 'll go visit him. What a nice man.He didn't want to sell me what I didn't need.I love my machines. They do exactly what he said they would.They arrived crated and already set up with instructions and drawers plus attachments in the tables(I paid for crating and shipping).Thank you Itzak.
