Things are starting to get real for my DIY. Thanks to [mention]jhunter13 [/mention] for the lead on this and other machines. Thanks to [mention]4090Sharps [/mention] for his feedback with my questions.
Last revision Consew made in Japan.
Made by Seiko (Seiko STH-8BLD-3).
Upholstery class, triple feed machine.
Seen it sew, fwd and reverse (same hole and stitches locked nice).
No free play, turns over smooth.
Runs like a bat out of heck with the clutch motor.
Next steps, get some thread, bobbins and a servo motor, clean it up, get it working and sell off most of my vintage domestic machines.
