Sailmaker sewing machine on Ebay

[sarabande]

There is what seems to be a good and solid sail sewing machine on ebay.

(I have no affiliation with the advert or the vendor ; just came across it while looking for one for a forumite.)

It is a Jones with a nameplate added on.
I don't think it is very different from the 'domestic' jones I have been using successfully for covers etc.
Although it is showing signs of abuse, can't get the tension right.
Maybe it is the next model up?
A mullti-step zigzag is important for real sailmaking.

My Singer 20U is excellent and is a proper Industrial Machine.

Shame you're in Suffolk or I'd ask to borrow it!
