Uwe Report post Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I have a nearly pristine Durkopp Adler 1183i for sale. This package runs over $7K new. I doubt it has ever been used for more than testing and demo sewing. It can be yours for a firm $2,300. The machine has dual driven wheel feed and an edge trimmer that can be engaged as needed. It's an all-electric full-function machine with foot lift, reverse, back-tack, thread trimming. This type of machine is generally used for car upholstery and shoe work, but is also be suitable for light to medium flat work like wallets, watch bands, belts, canvas bags, and the like. It comes with the finest Efka motor and controls (220V single phase, just like an electric oven or dryer). The machine is mounted in a killer table, by far the best I've ever owned. The table is made in Canada and is super sturdy, electrically height adjustable via toggle button, has manual tilt via hand crank, and lockable wheels. Sales flyer, Spec sheets, user and service manuals for the machine can all be downloaded directly from Durkopp Adler. I prefer local pick-up, but may be willing drive to meet you (not driving it across the border, sorry). You'll need a small enclosed U-Haul trailer or similar. Total weight is about 250-300 lbs. I'm working on a little demo video, but it's not ready yet. Meanwhile, here are a few pictures: Edited November 7, 2017 by Uwe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Black Friday + Black Wednesday Special. Black Friday because of Thanksgiving week. Black Wednesday because my makerspace TechShop unexpectedly went bankrupt last Wednesday and I had to move all my stuff home on a day's notice, including a large CNC mill I was refurbishing there. I now really have no room to turn around in my garage and something's gotta give or go. So here goes ... Price dropped to $1,500. Now you can afford to fly in, rent a van and drive it back home.

mikesc Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Sorry to hear you lost your "maker space"..I hope you get a new workshop or "maker space" facility soon..If I was on your side of the pond I 'd have already bought your adler from you at the original asking price..the latest "no space "price really makes it "a steal" for anyone in the USA.
