Looking for advice on Champion Peerless 30 purchase

[Mark842]

Hi Folks,

 I've been looking for a harness stitcher to add to my shop. This machine has popped up in my area. he wants $1800 for it.  From a little research it looks like needles and awls are still available for it but I can find nothing in this condition to compare prices to. This seems a little steep to me but it I can't find any in this condition.

Champion Harness/Saddle Lock Stitch sewing machine. Been rebuilt. Sews awesome. Has bobbin winder, easy to thread. Mounted to pallet for shipping. I can deliver. you will be extremely happy with its condition.

Yes,it is a nice looking machine BUT the price is about 2x what it should be & the biggest problem for this machine like a lot of the older ones is getting parts,we do stock needles & awls but that's all you can buy for it.

Thanks Bob! just wanted to make sure I wasn't passing up something I should be jumping on....

Bob is right, price is WAY high on it. Also, very limited versatility with the narrow throat.  You would hate it if doing any saddle, tack, or harness work.
