I saw a CL ad that had promise, and I did a thing.
I acquired a Consew 206 RB-4 head only. It is the same serial number prefix, TH, as my other 206 RB-4 so parts are replaceable. And I have experience in getting it set up and timed. Everything turns and moves as expected. No real free play or looseness. Just a side plate missing and in need of new feed dogs and maybe a hook. And also a good cleaning and set up / timing.
And 4 rolls of upholstery cloth and some blaze orange and safety yellow fabric.
Got it all for $220, not too bad.
