to be honest, when I saw the first picture of the CB2500 I thought it was handcranked. 

I for the next few years have only so much space for my "tools(Slowly renovating a cabin I want to retire to one day...so lots of power tools)"  and I don't want a big industrial sewing machine in my bedroom...the idea of portability, bolt it on my work bench when i want to do some leather work stuff, when done slip it into a case and slide it under the bench.

We had some inmates in Texas buy a couple of CB3200 that we put a knob on so they could handcrank them.They didn't have room for a stand.

Just out of curiosity, how much would a CB3200 head sell for with a knob for a handcrank go for?

$1,395.00+ shpg.

...The action of the machine  contributes to its need for adjustment as being banged into end stops each stroke is hard on its settings.   Its not so much a matter of bearings as was mentioned its something else.
...

The recurring story I hear about the machines is that they get out of timing (somewhere), the owner sends them off for service, they come back and within a short time the fault is back again...

 

Makes sense. Out of (mostly mechanical) interest, exactly what is it that stops the lever movement? If it is the more or less sensitive internals of the machine "after" the adjustable places so all that comes under shock load I wouldn't be suprised it will wreak havoc on the adjustments. Om the other hand, if there were adjustable stops more or less directly at the lever, stopping the movement just a hair before the rest of the machine says stop, the machine shouldn't have a problem working.

is that why the tippman boss they came out with rubber top and bottom stops as opposed to metal bolts for it to stop against?

@CowboyBob, is this for sale yet?

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.
