@JCLINE84 do you have a speed reducer on your Thor?

I tried this and it seems to work well to get even more speed reduction combined with the small motor pulley. It is much simpler than a speed reducer.

Just wondering if anyone if anyone would be willing to help me out, I'm searching for an industrial walking foot sewing machine for my DIY projects. I don't have facebook and it appears that that is where the majority of the good deals are, and I haven't been to successful in finding anything on craigslist. So if anyone happens to notice a machine at a good price in the SE PA area and wouldn't mind letting me know about it I would appreciate it! I don't mind if it needs work, doesn't have to be a perfect machine. Thanks!

I’d scoop this up if I didn’t already have two 237’s.

I found a Rex I think 26-188 for $500. Anyone have experience or opinions on price and if parts are available?

If it is, its a clone Singer 16-188 which you can still get parts for it.

I have no knowlegde of the machine, but Ive seen Juki LU 563s and Consew 206RB5 for similar price ranges so I would hold off unless you really like that model.

agreed. Price is a bit high, but anything likely to wear out or break should be easily found.

 

[archery_enthusiast]

OK, thanks for the input. I may hold off on it then. I would love to find a consew or juki for that price! Where I see them they are $800+

**SPF**
I have decided to sell my JUKI 8700 and get a bigger walking foot machine.
It is setup with

a servo motor and is geared down for more control.
Asking $450 that’s what I have in it.

If your in the Kentucky area and interested let me know
Thank you
