I'm looking to buy a Campbell Lock stitch sewing machine.  I understand they are very good leather stitching machines.

Awesome for them.  I noticed the address was different on their website.  But I kinda liked the old store:  was a very old brick building in Yoakum, had an antique feel to it.  I am imagining the new one to be modern and sterile.  But I also imagine it will be infinitely more workable:  the other was a bit of a maze to walk through and work in.

The new one is also further from me now. :(

The one I mentioned is in Mass.  It looks decent-priced at $1850.  Worcester I believe

Im in contact with him.  He's claiming local pick-up only...  Any idea of the risk factor buying one this old?   It looks like hell but I guess that's what they say about me too!!

There is always a risk buying a used sewing machine unless you have someone like Wiz inspecting it.  On the other hand, if you buy a rebuilt Cambell randall , you know it is perfect or they will not let it leave their possession.  They are a company with a very good reputation.  Those machines are awesome, I just have never been able to afford one.  Same is true with a closed needle machine,  buy a new one from one of the reputable dealers on this site and "It is going to sew right when you get it and if something does go south, they will be there to help  you and stand behind their product. 

If you really want a hook &awl machine, you may want to contact Keith Pommer in South Dakota.  He rebuilds and reconditions them and has a good reputation and has a lot of other leather working machines as well.  I believe he is in Worthing, SD.  Don't have a phone #.

I almost forgot,  Jim Blaine  at Panhandle Leather gets in good hook & awl machines on occasion.  Those fellas are my main leather supplier and they are really good to do business with.
