That is a neat machine! I don't have the money but $300 doesn't seem unreasonable for it. Industrial machines are almost always more money and patchers aren't all that common. They will do the jobs that other machines just can't reach. I don't see the hand crank as a big disadvantage either. Given the type of work they're made for slow and steady is what you need. Needles and bobbins are most likely a serious concern getting it running though.

It is not unreasonable... However they just replied to my email and asked if I would buy it for $150. He has had it stored in his closet for 20 years.... and he want it to go to a new owner. that will restore it.

I still have one machine in another part of the country to pay for the shipping on, but this is getting very tempting....

GreyQ is in the mid south part of the state, I get up to the Twin Cities area about once a month (next trip planned for around Feb 8th) Most of my relatives still live in MN, I lived there for 40 years, then moved to WI for 5, and have been in SD for about 11.

Cool, I just emailed the owner to see if we can work out the timing and location in the next month or so.
