TOTALLY BUMMED OUT!! CANT GET A COBRA Class 26!

[KennethLee]

I know they cant help it, and theyre shut down (so they tell me) until the ENDDDDD of January......well Ive been saving for a CLASS 26 , and there is NO substitute, ive seen the 'others', and theyre nowhere near as good.

ID PAY A $500 PREMIUM ON TOP OF THE PRICE JUST TO GET THE MACHINE!!!!!!!  

Literally these days i CANT THROW $$$$$$$$ out there and get this machine !!!!

 

Its got me utterly bummed out.

Adding your $500 premium that may put you in the ball park of a Juki LS-1341. Which you may want to consider.

The Cobra 26 is a clone of the Juki 341.  US price was about $2.300.00  The Tech Sew 2750 is the same clone of the Juki 341.  However, Tech Sew has just come out with the  4800 which is a clone of the Juki 1341.

Better machine and has the the dial on it to adjust the walk.  Yes, $950.00 more.  I have a genuine Juki 1341.  Better machine than the 341.

ive seen em, and i personally dont think theyre worth it, and they seem inferior in build to the (COPY) Cobra 26, .... all the leather "gods" told me to get the class 26 COBRA

I kjnow its a clone, but all indications are that its made better, AND costs less, but RIGHT NOW, i dont care AT ALL (seriously!) what it costs,..........WHICH MACHINE is TOUGHER THAN HELL?  Last the longest.????

 

I grew up with normal sewing machines, and i cant stand ANY plastic parts on an industrial machine, that mess burns my butt.

Have you considered this equivalent machine?

[chrisash]

Your looking for reliability among the different makes, it's hard to find that information on a forum where people tend to advertise the brand they brought; and only have limited if any information on other machines

Might be better asking professional sewing machine mechanics, "what make has the fewest problems and easiest spares supply"

Sometimes its hard to see through the marketing to get the true information. and many purchases are made only on price

youtube is littered with broken or half broken TECHSEW machines,   ive built and fixed enough stuff to know lesser quality when i see it.

Its impossible to consider spending a LOT MORE $$$$ for a MUCH less tough machine.

Let me get this straight - don`t they have the machines or do they not ship out the machines?

We have a lock down over here too until January 10th but you can order online and I´m sure any sewing machine dealer here would ship out the machine by freight forwarder.

Postal services and logistics are system relevant. It may work slower atm but I´m sure they all will deliver.

Toledo Sewing Machines is not toooo far way from you as it seems - I´m sure you can find a way to get a machine from them one or the other way.
