Is anybody looking for the old taylor's machine. It is considered industrial. These are a very good machine. I bet if you treadled it you could move some stuff through.
It looks like that has a great harp space!
What a machine to FMQ with, if the feed dogs could be dropped/covered...
All you experts, what do you know about this type of machine? Would it be the type that could be used for that?
And the table - looks like it is at a height for standing???

Another question - I know nothing about industrial machines - Why are there electrical cords AND a treadle pedal? Is the pedal for a different use on this machine? Or is it just a giant foot control for the machine?
Commercial machines have a high powered motor, and the big pedal is just a foot control. After chasing my little foot pedal around the floor under my table, I might like to have a bigger stationary one!
