Maybe someone here can help

Its been 11 days, so probably not, then.

Personally, Tofu, although I am more familiar with UK prices for the machine you want, it seems that you are seeking a 'good quality local, with nobs and whistles' machine for 'have to travel and possibly minor refurb' machine costs. Otherwise someone may have had a reply for you.

Ebay, Craigslist and all of the others may have machines that people do not really know their worth, we tend to know what our machines are worth and are unlikely to have one sitting around that is suddenly available and ticks all of your boxes. I got one of my machines as a mis-listed eBay bargain, by looking through hundreds of adverts with fewer search terms.

Good luck, hope you get what you want.

No, I'm looking for a local machine so I don't have to pay 40% of its value in crated shipping costs. Hence my thread title.

 

Unfortunately, it seems the thread has gone sour. I'll just continue my search on the usual channels. 

 

Thanks

Not sure how close you are but here are a few options.  Not singer 111 but both good walking foot machines.

That 211 is a solid deal.  Even the paint is in good condition.  I e-mailed the 206rb guy already a while ago asking if there are any apparent problems (since it's a 2 hour drive), but didn't get a reply.

On the bright side, I just found a Adler cylinder in PA for a steal of a price. I don't want to say too much for obvious reasons, but i'm going to see it soon :lol:.  

 

Thanks Tony!

I was going to offer to sell you a nice clean consew 225 i have that will be selling. I figured the cost to ship would be to much. Best of luck with the Adler and thanks for the link on how to package a machine.
