It looks like a clean machine that hasn't had alot of use,I would never sell one like this for less than what they are asking.

thanks for the input, it's very helpful. I tried to talk to the guy selling the Copper and he won't answer questions and just gets snotty. He just says drive down (3 hrs each way) and bring $3500 cash so that's a dead end. He's had it listed for sale for over 2 years. I just don't get it.

MOVING ON ....

This other Adler 220 76-273 has popped up in my area (5 hrs each way ) asking $4000 !!!

I told him I was considering German precision/hard to get parts/part are expensive vs going with a used Japanese long arm like Seiko of Juki where parts are easily sourced and more affordable.

I told him I'd think it over and get back to him. I'm worried I might be letting a good one get away if I don't grab this one. When he was at $4k I threw out $2k and that brought him down to $3k so now I'm considering offering $2500 (which I still think is too high) but these are supposed to be the best sewing machines ever made ....... right?

I'll post the few pictures I have and would love to hear from anyone that knows Adler long arms and Juki and Seiko long-arms. What would the rest of you do ? walk away or pay up ?

THANKS

If anyone knows something about Copper Machine Co. out of Chicago please let me know.

The machine was sold by COOPER, not COPPER. You can read this on the logo on the machine in the first photo.

You could always pay a local (to the machine) machine person to check it out for you, though a 3-5 hour drive is not that much of a problem to many and means you can bring the machine home at the same time
