Arturomex Report post Posted August 30, 2020 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.

Arturo 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arturomex Report post Posted August 30, 2020 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. Regards, Arturo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
