I have one of those, too. I've tried multiple times to sell it on CL for about what Steve is saying - when they figure out the stitch length only goes so far it makes it hard to sew on leather. It seems like everybody equates industrial machine or old machine with sewing on leather. Is there that much demand? The one I have is in VERY nice shape - never used in a factory - some lady who made draperies had it. That isn't the issue - there just isn't a lot of demand for industrial machines these days. 15 years ago was a different story.
