A customer at Turtle Mountain found out that I used to be a professional parachute rigger and decided to give me a present.

It'll need a little work, but it's still worth about $600.

Cool I use one of those in the slide shop at work. It sews the heavy covering on the slides like it was tissue paper.

Great more replies to an old sewing machine than my Post about my MPS testing and cure.

I have an old and working singer pedal with leather belt wood drawers and fancy iron work. Never let me down even when the power is out. Mine is an home use machine. Yours looks heavy duty like you could remake your seat covers with it. Are you planning to use it for somthing special?

I just noticed you can add a pic to a reply but if you edit a reply with no pic you can not add one. And I found if the reply has a pic in it when you do an edit it will let you change the pic.

I've been looking for a commercial single-needle so I can do upholstery work.

This machine is somewhat specialized, but might work with some table mods. I might sell it to get something better suited to my needs.

To bad you are so so far away! I have a machine you could have that would be perfect to start you out on doing some upholstery. Its an oldie but a goodie.
