Consew 226:

Descendant of the 111W, but with a reverse lever. This machine will also eat wallets for breakfast.

Note with either of the above 2 machines they are so cheap you can add a very good servo motor, spend a little money on getting it timed and tuned, and still be well below like $800. You could even buy both and add nice servos for less than a Juki.

Just food for thought, there are options.

I wish we had those choices here in St Louis  

NONE since July.

Thanks R8R.

I might have to follow up on that 226. I had been looking around and saw nothing for the past few months. I probably last checked 3 days ago right before that was posted. lol.

Cool. That said, if it seems like a junker and the owner is clueless, no big deal walking away.
