I have a Singer Patcher 29-4 for sale.

If interested we can work on pricing.

What are you asking for it

Regarding new(er) patchers, I sold a used TechSew 2900 Patcher  a few month ago. I was rather impressed by it and it compared very favorably to vintage patchers I've worked on. I made a demo video with it when I sold it. The video might be of interest as a reference point for comparisons.

We have this exact machine here in the UK usually sold under the "Wimsew" name, it's VERY popular with private cobblers but perhaps the biggest "thumbs up" comes from the fact that one of the largest franchises for shoe repair outlets has one of these as part of their standard kit for the shop set up?  An indication of just how reliable it must be is that it's almost always seen on the worktop WITHOUT a motor . . the cobbler uses it by hand crank.

Still miss my Singer 29K72 on it's foot treadle stand . . using her was pure therapy . . so relaxing.
