Members luckyfind Posted January 5, 2019 Members Report Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) hello all, I found this forum after a lucky find at an auction. I could use some info. I bought a mini brute sewing machine at an auction. I know nothing about sewing machines. I bought it because my wife wanted to learn how to use one. it was purchased in 1999 and was still new in the box never opened. brought it home and realized it for leather. so my wife doesn't want it. I am going to sell it to get her a regular sewing machine. what should I ask for the mini brute? I have the original receipt, paperwork and accessory kit. im located near Columbus ohio. it does have some light surface rust on feet. box was sealed up but had got wet sometime in the last 20 years.

Members cdthayer Posted January 5, 2019 Members Report Posted January 5, 2019 It looks a lot like a Thompson PW-500Mini Walking Foot Sewing Machine, but I can't see the presser foot area clear enough to see if it's a walking foot. The "Mini Brut" label is not familiar to me. CD in Oklahoma Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members cdthayer Posted January 5, 2019 Members Report Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) It would be kind of fun if it is a model that was taken over by Thompson and then renamed, but it could also be a knock-off of Thompson’s design. Can you get a photo of the foot and needle plate area, and one of the back side of the machine? CD in Oklahoma Edited January 5, 2019 by cdthayer Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Hockeymender Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 Looks very much like the Sailrite machine. Quote Regards, Joe Esposito www.hockeymenders.com instragram: @hockeymenders.com

Did Sailrite take over the Thompson Mini Walker? Seems like maybe they did. Anyone know? CD in Oklahoma ETA: If he has a receipt that is 20 years old, he could have an interesting machine on his hands. Edited January 5, 2019 by cdthayer Quote "I sew, I sew, so it's off to work I go....."

Members cdthayer Posted January 5, 2019 Members Report Posted January 5, 2019 I worked on a Thompson Mini WF PW-103 back in 2007 (had to fabricate a replacement tension release tab), but it is a completely different model than what we’re talking about. Other than that, I don’t have any experience with any other mini walking foot machines, Thompson or otherwise. I think they’re cool little portable machines though.
