JJN Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I received a shipment from UPS today that I was anxiously waiting for. It is a "new old stock" Juki LU-563 that was never used in it's original Juki packaging. It still has the factory sew-off thread and fabric in it. No rust and no damage. I've been looking for one of these machines and never thought I would find one in this condition. I am afraid to use it, seems like it ought be in a museum or something. LOL What do you folks think of this? Here are the photos...

Members Pintodeluxe Posted September 19, 2019 Members Report Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Oh, so you're the fellow that outbid me... Seattle area right? Enjoy your new toy! I have one just like it (few more scratches) and like it very well. Edited September 19, 2019 by Pintodeluxe Quote
JJN Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Posted September 19, 2019 @Pintodeluxe, I must be. It is from Seattle. I didn't think I was bidding on it. I didn't know anyone else saw it. This is the second machine I found in that area. The other one was a Ferdco/Juki-Pro 2000.

garypl Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 Nice buy! Was it a Craig’s list buy? Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
JJN Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Posted September 19, 2019 @garypl, Thanks, yes it was on Craigslist. I have a nice 562 set up with its table, I might switch out the heads and sell the 562. I still need to get a servo motor, but this way I'll have the table, large oil pan and knee lift that will fit this machine.

garypl Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 I need to look on Craig’s list more often! I bought my Consew 206RB-4 on Craig’s List for $180 complete with servo and table and I love it! Had to spend a couple of days resetting and retiming everything and just recently corrected a problem that was caused by a bent needle plate. Works great now and I wouldn’t mind finding another deal like it! Only problem I have not been able to correct is reverse stitch length. Only reverses into the same holes when stitch length is at the maximum, which I never use. Oh well... Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

JJN Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Posted September 22, 2019 @Gregg From Keystone Sewing Thanks for your comment. The parts list says it was printed in Japan 1988. Could I assume that is fairly close to the manufacturing date of this machine? Also, I read in another post where you mentioned that there were 3 different castings for the 563. I am aware of the latest casting, the 563N where the hole for viewing the stitch length was removed. What are the differences in the first two castings?
