206 rb5 vs llw 8bl\cs

[bikermutt07]

I know my questions are getting a little tiresome. Sorry.

Are there any major advantages of one machine over the other?

I can't find much info on the Seiko, so there's that.....

Was that supposed to be a Seiko model LSW-8BL?

The auction says Seiko llw 8blcs.

From what little I can find on the Seiko it is a high arm version with 15mm knee lift and uses #8 thread. If that is the metric measurement then it would be 346 from what I am finding.

So I guess it would be a much heavier stitcher than the 206.

 This machine uses same hook as newer models from Seiko, LSWN-8BL/CS & LW-8BL/CS andLSWN Series.  Not a high arm, but a long arm.  I would say would top out at a V207 thread.

 

 SERIES

Thanks that was about all I could find on it too.

...and maybe I was incorrect, this could be for sure a high arm model.
