nanera Report post Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) My friend purchased this machine for me hoping to help me with some of the thicker equine leathers, which it does work beautifully for. However, he did not realize that it needs a pneumatic air hookup, which I do not have. So, regretfully, I am selling this brand new machine that has never been used. Retails for $12,650. Complete description below. I prefer local buyers for pick up only as this is a beheamoth of a machine (approx. 500lbs) or buyer to arrange shipping/pickup. Location: Newburgh, NY.

Uwe Report post Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for posting the first ever Durkopp Adler 969 in the for sale section on LW! I wish I could afford it. I wish I had friends like yours. Would you trade for a couple of old-school heavy stitchers from my collection? Since the pneumatic air requirement may scare off some potential buyers, I also wanted to mention that you don't need a big, loud air compressor for a sewing machine. For my full-function machines with pneumatic actuators I got a small, very quiet air compressor from California Air Tools (model CAT-4610AC-B for $179 on Ebay) . It works perfectly and doesn't jolt you out of your chair when it starts up. It does make some noise, but it's closer to a window air conditioner in noise level when it runs very couple of minutes when you use the machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

howlback Report post Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) So let me get this straight... the seller wants to unload this brand new machine, almost $3k under the retail price, rather than just buy $155 compressor? For the record, I have a CAT4610ac and my Juki clone is probably louder. Edited March 18, 2018 by howlback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
