Authentic or a remake?
Ive been seeing this little guy on our local Craigslist for a few weeks... but to me it looks too perfect/new to be the old one. Plus, these were mint green, right? Not aqua... What do you think? Has this model been remanufactured lately?

It's not a repro but if it's what I think it is(285) the price is way too high.

I think you're right on the model Cari. They're descended from the 99 and 185 machines but had a major redesign underneath.
One of these was just discussed recently though I don't remember which thread. Rodney |

There's a review at http://www.briansews.com/2010/06/bad-seed.html |
Thanks... I did find the Briansews review and have decided it's not a good one to get. I really don't like that hook driver mechanism underneath. Thank you everyone for your input.

I actually recognize that photo from a sewer's blog - I wouldn't trust that this is an actual photo of the machine being listed.
I hate it when people do that... |
The 99 and 185 are good machines the 285 is not so good underneath. It has funky gears - seems kind of fragile to me. I parted out the one I had - it also had some broken plastic. The case was fine though.
