esantoro Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 I've decided to sell my Neel's Model 5 Heavy-Duty Harness Stitcher to make more room in my apartment. I'm going to replace it with a portable walking foot machine for medium weight suede and denim work. There is probably not even nine hours of stitching time on this machine, as I do all of my heavy leather stitching on my Juki 441 machine, which has a compound feed mechanism. The Model 5, which is similar to a Mach1 and Baby Bull 440, has lower feed only. I realize that the industrial sewing machine business can be pretty tense and competitive at times with so few suppliers, but Ryan Neel at Neel's Saddlery has been great and extremely helpful. He's even allowed me to link to one of his Model 5 auctions, which fully explains what the Model 5 is all about. My asking price for the machine (all standard equipment included, plus 25 bobbins and special narrow needle plate) is $600 plus shipping from New York City.

Members Dink Posted September 26, 2007 Members Report Posted September 26, 2007 Do you still have this machine? Dink
esantoro Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Posted September 26, 2007 I still have it. Great little machine, if you don't want compound feed. I want to sell it to get a big sturdy work table on which I can put on and take off a portable compound feed machine. I'm running out of space.

Members Dink Posted September 27, 2007 Members Report Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) What all is the Standard Equipment? Stand, motor, is this the servo motor? everything that is mentioned in the attachment you included? ready to sew? Is stitch length adjustment easy? Can you find shippimg cost to Larkspur Co. 80118 Thank You Dink Edited September 27, 2007 by Dink
esantoro Posted September 27, 2007 Author Report Posted September 27, 2007 everything is just as it is in the eBay auction description, plus an extra narrower needle plate and a flatbed attachment, plus 25 bobbins, plus an assortment of quality needles. I'll check on freight. My guess is $150. I'll see about shipping the machine head freight and the rest UPS, though it's probably best to ship everything freight. I think what happens is I ship freight to the closest freight depot near you, and you pick it up from there. It's a bit more expensive if someone picks it up at your nearest freight depot and delivers it directly to you. I'll look into it. Ed http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
esantoro Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 Dink, I checked with UPS. They should be able to ship it ground to your Colorado zip for $160. Ed http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Contributing Member Jordan Posted October 7, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 7, 2007 Ed, do you still have the machine? If so it may take me a couple of days to arrainge my finances but if I can swing it I am interested. thanks....Jordan
esantoro Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Jordan, I do still have the machine. It may also take me several days to get just the right box and packing materials to ship the machine, stand, and motor correctly. Ed http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Contributing Member Jordan Posted October 7, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 7, 2007 Ok, I will let you know for sure by tomorrow evening, maybe you could send me an email MtPockets54@msn.com with some details such as payment method, shipping cost to Clinton Utah 84015 It looks like this machine is exactly what I need to get started
Contributing Member Jordan Posted October 8, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted October 8, 2007 Ed, I sent you an email with my contact info. Can you post some photos of the machine and the items that come with it so I can get a better idea of what I would be getting? Are there any tools, manual accessories, bench etc. I am really hoping I can add it to my shop soon. thanks Jordan
