Thoughts on Consew 99

so years later how did this machine turn out for you. I am looking for a good find like that up here. See nothing except real high price stuff. Need a few jobs lined

up if I am gong to spend that coin

That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Hello guys, I found this https://parts.jacksew.com/hanging-roller-strt-guide-generic-mah-15201-0a0/ just wondering if anyone knows if it would fit a Juki 441?

 

I was was also  thinking to upgrade my machine and found those guys selling a similar one for around $5K: https://www.jacksew.com/highlead-ga2688-1-single-needle-extra-heavy-duty-shuttle-hook-16-5-cylinder-arm-compound-walking-foot-sewing-machine/

 

Also did anyone have any experience ordering from Jacksew?

( will Not fit 441 ) . I have that same swing-drop-down edge guide on my  juki 1541 . That drop edge guild in your link is not going on the 441, it way to small/short, for the big head clearance of juki 441.
The 'standard ' edge guide for the 441 is just a T-bar mounting bracket attached on the cylinder bed close in by needle plate.
looks like this,  in pic.

The Only drop-Swing-down edge that I have even seen offered for fitting a 441 or 441 clone is offered by ( Toledo Industrial sew ) in Ohio, for their Mdl.4500 /441 clone .

You say ..."Upgrading your machine ." .. what are you upgrading from ?

The ' JACK' branded label name.  ( the way I interpret ) , is that their biggest customer base is Europe,and even Australia. not N. America market. The 'jack' link you give in your Post, gets redirected straight to Highlead branding label and their 441 clone/import.

OK . I read your Post, like you looking to purchase a 'new' decent Juki 441/import clone, 794/dyx3 Needle, 441shuttle/bobbin assembly system machine ? . These days there are several nice well made 441 imports being put-out in different brand name labels.

In your user name info. Your location is Tahoe NV. .. ( my advice ) the 1st thing that hits me is.. You are 'really close' to the CA. San.Fran.bay area . Artisan Sew over in San Bruno, CA has a pretty good 16" 441 clone/Import they spec.out and brand their name to .

Artisan sew has a ( Mdl 4000 ). They been around for longtime and does a decent job with machines and customer service. Their prices are pretty good also because they have their machine order shipments come-in directly into Port of Entry right there to help hold their prices down.

Also, you not that far away, so the cost of shipping of a machine on a pallet from Artisan/bay area CA. to Tahoe NV. the cost won't be bad at all . If you ship straight into a trucking hub in Tahoe. Then just pick it up the pallet yourself from the Hub . Avoid doing that delivery bullshit to home/residence because that just doubles the cost .
