You did a nice job on the machine, and it LOOKS better but, these machines are not really commercial grade. I have 3 but also have a cylinder arm machine. The main weak point is the raceway bearings and the fact that you can't use commercial needles without modifications. I use my machines for certain jobs that no other machine can sew. They used to sell a version with a post bed that was more commercial grade. Also the lack of feed dogs make your layers shift with certain materials such as leather. Get a cylinder arm for heavy jobs. I finally got one.
Well done. That is a piece of art. I had one several years ago that was original replica. The biggest project I did on it was a leather golf bag that took me a month to make. I since gave the machine to an old lady who wanted to try leatherwork. How long did it take you to re-engineer this? It is incredible
Beautiful. I don't know if you still swap between using the foot controller and the hand crank anymore. That thing flying around at speed makes me nervous. If you never use it I'd remove, but if you go back and forth, I'm wondering if maybe there wouldn't be a clean way to drop a neodym magnet into the mounting bore for the handle and attach one to the handle itself, making a quick release handle you can just pop off when not using (and might break away nicely if you whack yourself). Just an idea !

I can just see you turn this machine in to a beautiful art.great job
Awesome upgrade
A GREAT EFFORT TO TRANSFORM THIS PIECE OF ART. YOU HAVE USED ALL THE SKILLS AND TIME TÓ CONVERT THIS BEAUTIFUL M/C
You might need to use some more oil, to get rid of that strange barking sound...
멋진 결과물입니다. 제 재봉틀도 개조하는데 도움이 되겠습니다.
Would love to know more specs and guides, you should publish a PDF of the plans, would get my one of these off the “too hard to use” shelf!
Love to see a video of how you made you plate and how your bobbin is set up
Do you have any build guidelines for how others might be able to do this? This runs spectacularly! Wonderful work!
This is amazing... really nice work 👌

Are there any parts left from the original machine? Or did you just use the original for design inspiration?
WHOUAHOU GENIAL TOP 👌
Это шедевд 💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍Super 💣💣💣💣💣
Put a plate on it.
