Techsew SA5-1

[Arturomex]

I have the opportunity to purchase what's listed as a Techsew SA5-1. The photos in the ad aren't very good and the vendor doesn't know much about industrial stitchers but I think it's probably a 441 clone.

It's a fairly long drive to view this machine and I'd like to go (if I go) knowing what I'm going to be looking at.

Thanks for your help.

If it is a GA5-1 type it is a clone of a Singer 45k cylinder arm machine. These are strictly bottom feed, with aggressive teeth, with either a fixed flat foot or a roller foot. They max out at 7/16 inch. They are NOT 441 clones. Those are triple/compound feed walking foot machines.

Thanks guys.

No, this isn't going to work for me and you've saved me a few hours and some fuel.

I appreciate you taking the time.
