Members Peter Ellis Posted August 20, 2007 Members Report Posted August 20, 2007 Guys,For what it is worth. Rumor has it that Tandy is going to stop carrying the Boss and will be introducing a hand powered machine of their own. (Made in conjunction with Weaver?? not sure about that part of the story) It will be cheaper than the Boss and have a 18" deep throat. I'm going to hold off on getting a machine until I see their new one. Due some time in October or so the rumor goes. Dave Theobald When I picked up my Boss from Tandy, July 20, I got the rundown on them discontinuing carrying the Boss and the new machine they're making with Weaver. Throat will be deeper than on the Boss, but only by one inch or so more, not more than ten What kind of price point I don't know. I did get the impression it was not going to have the accessory range available that Tippman offers. And right now, at this moment, I might trade my Boss for a large rock. sigh. I ran two seams a quarter inch or so apart from one another, one after the other, changing nothing, and the first seam was good, the second one the bobbin thread is hanging out there on the bottom. No idea why the difference... Quote Peter Ellis Noble Lion Leather
