Deadeye51224 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 Had to take my cylinder bed machine in to get it repaired. Wasn't too bad as far as what it cost. Really hit it off with the older guy. Said I should probably have another good machine for a backup, as the problem with the cylinder bed machine was at a pretty inopportune time. Asked if he had anything ......Weeellll, he says, I got a Singer 211 that I wouldn't mind parting with....been all through it, and its in new shape. Sat down to it....and ran some 8 oz leather thru it....was blown away as to how nice it performed. Came home with it. After he told me the price, he goes...oh wait, thats a 211G465......should have told you a couple hundred more, but I offered it at that price, so its yours if you want it. Its a German manufactured 211 with the big bobbins. Pretty much was a bargain based upon what I see for pricing across the country for used machines, some of questionable operation.This machine runs like new. No reverse, but that's not a showstopper. My chinese knockoff cylinder bed runs much better now after having him go thru it. Anybody have any opinions or 'look out fors' on the 211G465 that I should be aware of?
