I would be looking for a malfunction code and then it would be history, pdq ( . )  all aside a thanks for the video build and lesson in it, its great!

Some of these things nowadays, its like no one understands, so mfg's think and started then continued to promote by putting more beeps n whistles.

What happened to hey! stop look listen with one beep signal. I have seen this also grow in flashing lights to a point its almost normal, and or insignificant and this has been a hazard.

Why I don't know but I'm using a spare / left over dorm microwave in the shop that seems to beep 5 times, "uh hello" mfg's  1 signal time is good, I'm from the old school and understand " stop" .

By the way, not a very good way to attach a speed reducer; you cannot tension the machines V belt this way. Tor

Most likely the Typical 2603 has no German relatives. Not all sewing machines have German roots. Not sure who came out first with this model, maybe Mitsubishi or Seiko or Juki... not sure...

Thank you for answer. I know, SINGER build many perfect machines, like my shoe patcher 29k..., and is not a german product. But many of the german sewing machines goes to Clones.

I think a Pfaff 335 Clone is too fine for my work, and i think a Cowboy/Hightex 3200, 4500 is not fine enough for my work. And so i check the Informations of the GC 2603. And, maybe, such a GC 2603 is a good machine to do my work. I search, and i search, but i found only a lonesome Global Machine and no other machine that looks and feel like the Typical GC 2603. You know other Brands of this machine ?

Cobra 26 maybe (not the same but middle of the road none the less) or the cowboy equivalent which is the same thing different color.

Hi, I live in Texas USA, and am trying to find a machine for leather purses.  I know I want a cylinder model and something that preferable can go up to at least 210 thread,  One of the stores in Dallas recommended the Typical GC 2063 or Thor GA 441.  Another friend recommended the Cobra class 3.  Also the cowboy.  What is the Typical a clone of?  Any suggestions?  Thanks, this is my first industrial model.

We're in Dallas if you want to see the 3200.

I called the Cowboy / Solar Leather Machines in Arlington.  They said the  3200 is for heavier leather and larger thread like the 270 or bigger.  If using mostly the 138 and purse leather, than the 341 would work better.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Darlene
