Members chrisash Posted November 15, 2018 Members Report Posted November 15, 2018 Agree with KGG the problem with electronics is they only make them for about 2-3 years and then add the new all singing and dancing version, The end result you have about 3 years of machines plus maybe a years of spares in stock, they are not reparable componant boards so once broken you rely on spares that are probably not available. I can point you to thousands of dead computerised embroidery machines ( elaborate sewing machines) electronics no longer available but mechanically still ok but useless. Any machine before about 2000 has decades of life left, unfortunatly new machines with electronics probably not the same life so will depreciate quicker Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Members R8R Posted November 16, 2018 Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 I have the Juki 2810 with 1100w positioning servo on it. Rock solid machine. It was $2850 altogether after I added the better motor. Quote
Members taydiggz Posted November 16, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 Ok, well a bit of a curveball. I showed up today and instead of the 767 he had completely redone a 367 with new efka motor, controls, transformer, and a bunch of replaced parts. It has pneumatic lift with a new regulator as well. He charged me 2800 and offered to trade it for a new machine if I was unsatisfied along with offering the same 1 year warranty that comes with DA machines. How'd I do? Quote
Members shoepatcher Posted November 16, 2018 Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 The 367 has a horizontal hook. Weaver sold them for a while but had trouble with them sewing heavy leather. Horizontal hooks with the exception of the 3200, 441 and 205-370 do not sew as well as vertical hooks in heavy leather. The aforementioned have barrel shuttles which is different. Those are proven. Don't get me wrong. The 367 is a good machine but not for sewing heavy type leather. Adler only had the machine out for about 5 years is I remember. just my 2 cents. glenn Quote
Members taydiggz Posted November 16, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 16, 2018 The bobbin loads from the side, meaning mine is a vertical hook, no? Quote

JJN Posted November 16, 2018 Report Posted November 16, 2018 Vertical hook refers to the axis of the hook or bobbin. A vertical axis hook.
