Members mcdoug Posted August 17, 2020 Members Report Posted August 17, 2020 After more than 40 years in business I have decided to retire and sell it all. I have 2 sewing machines, a Fortuna skiver, a USM Model B clicker, zipper tape, sliders, thread, a number of clicker die sets for various products, a few hides of leftover leather (3 oz. soft cow), a few hand tools, and some miscellaneous stuff including chemicals, cement, and folding attachments. I'd love to sell it all as a single lot and am open to offers from most anyone, dealers included. Photos of the machines attached. Other photos could be provided. All machines are in working order and used daily. Some of the items I'm currently making can be seen at highlandleather.com. Pickup only, please.
Members Webicons Posted August 17, 2020 Members Report Posted August 17, 2020 May I ask for the general location of the equipment? Thanks.

Members mcdoug Posted August 18, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 18, 2020 The cylinder machine would be a very good chap machine. It will sew a bit heavier than the consew and has a stronger motor. Add a speed reducer (included in the equipment but not attached) and it should easily sew 3 or 4 layers of 5 oz. chap slow and even. In the 70's, I made bags out of 5/6 latigo using a Juki 563, and these machines have similar capabilities. The cylinder machine has 16mm of clearance under the foot as opposed to the 11mm of the flat bed so it's a little easier to work the material with it. I typically make the more difficult bags on the cylinder and the flat goods on the consew. I have everything an aspiring bag maker would need to get started except the leather and hardware. This could be a turnkey business if you have a market for the kind of things I make.

Members HaloHockey Posted August 19, 2020 Members Report Posted August 19, 2020 How much you gotta have for it Doug?
Members HaloHockey Posted August 19, 2020 Members Report Posted August 19, 2020 Also what’s the bed and boom size? Single phase?
Members mcdoug Posted August 19, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 19, 2020 Bed is 20 x 40. I'll have to measure the boom and let you know. 220v, 3 phase, but I have a phase converter included that plugs into a standard 220 outlet. I'd take $1000 for it if you can wait a couple of weeks for me to finish cutting all my leftover leather. You pick it up, of course.
