Uwe Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) 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 ... I have two new GF205-370 sewing machines. They are very nice quality clones of the Durkopp Adler 205-370 design. One is still in the box, the other is mounted on a refurbished stand made by Weaver, with 220V servo motor and custom speed reducer. Both machine heads are new and unused, but were stored in a warehouse for a few years before I acquired them last year. The machines are manufactured by Jason Sewing in Taiwan and are still in production. The machine in the box was sewn to a piece of leather at the factory, so I would expect it to take minimal setup effort to put into service. This one is $1,400. The machine on the stand is ready to sew and demo. This one is $1,900. Edited November 20, 2017 by Uwe
Members SheltathaLore Posted November 20, 2017 Members Report Posted November 20, 2017 My condolences on your maker space Best of luck finding these a good home!
Uwe Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Posted December 6, 2017 The window of opportunity on these machines has closed. They may be for sale again in the future at a price point closer to their real value (2017 wholesale pricing for this model starts at $3,400 for just the head with a minimum order quantity of 10 and before shipping from Taiwan.) I'll keep them in my permanent collection until market conditions improve.
