What am I looking at?
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/atq/4421350293.html I've never seen something like this so I have no idea if it's all there or not!

I don't know what it is. Usually industrial machines are set up to do one task. I wonder if they would give you a model number. What needles does it use? It looks like it was set up for travel. What machine would be used for travel? Why? I bet it is still heavy... I would probably buy it at that price just to play with it. I don't know if you can get parts though....... At the very least go check it over to see what it needs if it isn't too far...

I have seen an industrial that was for mattress binding that looked similar. It looks like it is electric, to me....see the cord in the left of the picture. I would ask owner if there is a motor under the table. And definitely ask for model or serial #.

It’s an interesting machine, but I don’t know what it does. There’s a bobbin winder with it, so it must be a lock-stitch machine. It looks like it feeds something from left to right.
I suspect that the upper rear cover is missing, and a box top has been fitted in its place.
It looks like it has a foot-operated presser bar lifter, and the machine hinges to the left to access the underside.

It looks like my Singer 65W. It is a high speed rotary hook. The manual says it is for shirts, collars and cuffs. The material is sewn from left to right. A very cool looking machine. Scary fast.
