That is amazing, but necessity can be the mother of invention and you did a great job. Nice going.

I was given the machine - but if I'm not mistaken I think I was told they would sell for $100 or $200. It is an old industrial darning machine. If you keep one of these oiled, they will last you forever. If a motor goes bad, they simply replace the motor-it just is mounted underneath. An easy cheap fix for a repair man. Find yourself a used industrial sewing machine shop. That is who gave it to me. I'm in Pittsburgh and if you are close, just email me and I'll let you know where to check here. Otherwise, it would cost a lot to ship these machines, they come mounted on the table and you need the table as the foot pedal and winder are build in. It wasn't hard to do at all, but there was some trial and error involved. If you try and have questions, just ask.
