deano Posted 15May, 2018 Report Share Posted 15May, 2018 yeah well considering I've bought what is warmly regarded by many here as a hairdressers car, I'm dying my roots and you can darn your own sox. Lee, if you want an original, check out a USA sailrite , around $1,500 a few years ago, or if you don't mid a rip off with some dodgy castings, ""Strong Arm"' chinese knock off. I bought the Strong arm a few years ago about $900, with a 'power wheel'which changes the gearing and slows the machine down. Once it was really really oiled up, and I reset the timing a few times, it sews like a beast, and you can use all the original Sailrite accessories if you want to. I mess around doing canvas boat stuff and it's been great. Every shed should have one fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
