I've had just about enough of your nationalism, Wiz......:excuseme:

Thanks all for the entertaining information. Now I know, and also know how to search for info relating to these in the future theoretically. 

The same person has a 280L for sale also which I kind of knew about from Wiz's various post and shared info.

I just came across this model number cross reference (snapshot from a Superior Sewing Machines PDF file) which supports a tight relationship between the Nakajima and Juki, as TinkerTailor said. The model numbers don't always line up 1:1, though.

Hi,

I know it's been a few months, but this machine (maybe same seller? Maybe not?) is for sale again, Craigslist Seattle.

 Nakajima 321-L cylinder arm sewing machine - $1250 (Port Townsend) 

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bfs/6017179557.html

I was curious about how it would sew without walking foot and found this youtube video - might answer some questions for a few folks about the machine. Even though it is not a walking foot, I think I could find it pretty useful myself, but not ready to buy anything yet. If I was though, I think I'd want to pay a bit less for it. Maybe $700? Seller has it at $1,250.00, but I know the Nakajima machines are very highly regarded. Some day I am hoping to get a cylinder arm machine.

almost forgot.. thank you all for your information on these machines, you are all so knowledgeable and this is all helpful as I am taking my time, but I am on the hunt for a machine with cylinder arm! At this point it is a want, not a need.

He has several machines for sale. Also a nice 153w103 which has walking foot but without reverse. Price is a little steep but not sure if he takes offers.

Madmax,

Yes, I saw the Singer 153w103 too! Drooled over that one as I love Singers. Yeah, the fact that it does not have a reverse is something you want to think of before buying. I know there are ways around that, but certainly a good price would make that an easier decision! :)
