JJN Posted February 11, 2020 Report Posted February 11, 2020 In my opinion... $1000 is not a terrible price but it is at the high end of the price range for that machine. $700-800 is where I would want to be for that machine. But I am always looking for really good deals.

They are variable speed and easy to control. A test drive would tell it all. Cool. That's why I suggested checking When I was looking at a new Consew 226 at a local dealer, it had the servo with the knob. I saw several like that, but this one was the main one I remember was on or off and not variable. Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
Members Davidgbaron Posted February 11, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 11, 2020 I appreciate everyone’s input! It really helped out a bunch. I think I’m going to make a reasonable offer on the machine and see if I can’t get it in the shop this weekend. I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions, thanks again. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted February 11, 2020 Members Report Posted February 11, 2020 I have to agree. That machine is worth $1000 in great condition used, but its on the high side of the market. I bought mine for 450$ in heavily used condition, and I considered that a real bargain. A consew 1206 is 1095$ new https://www.tolindsewmach.com/consew-p1206rb.html Quote
Members Tross Posted February 11, 2020 Members Report Posted February 11, 2020 I just bought a one owner 206rb (SInger 531B) for $500 in great shape. I paid a couple hundred to switch to a servo motor, and speed reducer, and swing down roller guide. The machine will sew through 13oz of leather (I build bridles and horse tack) with no problem.
