Whoops. What brand? We used to have 100's of them, but, liquidated them when we sold our business. I sometimes miss hearing the the machines running.

Sorry, can't help there.

Consew. I don't know the model. Man, we need one bad.

It's been running about a million hours with no problems till yesterday and of course it needs to get done.

I think that's the machine David has. I'm picking up his and taking it to Tacoma today and see if I can get it fixed.

I will talk to him this morning and see. Just don't know.

I'll reply again later after I get back.

Thanks, that's a very nice offer,

You don't ever want to travel the road I took to get here, it's been a tough one for sure. This broken down body is just try'n to keep a'rollin.

Been retired 13 or so years now and I do get my rest. I do not know how I ever had time to get things done when I was working as I'm so busy these days I should'a never had any spare time at all.

Thanks for yer concern, I think I gotta few more years in me,

It needs to be industrial as it has several layers of canvas, zippers and window plastic to go through.

Thanks for the offer and I wish it would work. Need to get this boat to Alaska now,

Got it all figured out. I drove to Renton today and my son bought a new machine and is hooking up now. Back to building tops and such.

HITF can you people drive in that traffic? That is crazy and hope I never have to do it again.

Thanks for all the offers for help it is greatly appreciated,

Good show FP. Glad you located a machine. Is your old one repairable? Or did it break big time?

The old one is at the shop and they are gonna look see what broke and how much. David said it was a clutch bearing.

If he fixes it he will probably sell.

Thanks for asking,
