Circa 1998 Sailrite Thompson Mini-Walker (LS-1) $650 San Diego.
Purchased this almost 25-years ago new from Sailrite, back when the machine was still branded a Thompson Mini-Walker. It has had light use over the years. I just had it serviced by a Derek's Sewing Machine Service & Repair in San Diego (highly recommended). Purrs like a kitten! This is a straight-stitch machine (NOT zig-zag). Serial #927662 if it makes a difference.
Note the two-tone color of the sewing machine: I accidentally broke the top part a few years ago. These machines have not changed so replacement was easy, albeit in modern colors.
* Includes Monster Wheel upgrade
* ELectronic foot pedal for better speed
* LED light is a nice uprade
* Carrying Case - sturdy, some minor wear and tear.
This has been mostly stored indoors and off-boat over the years. What you see is what you get!
Available in San Diego area. $650 cash. If you live outside the area and would like it shipped, I would be happy to drop it at a UPS Store where you could have them package and ship at your expense (shipping weight is approx 45-lbs - you can use 92154 in San Diego to estimate shipping). Frankly, these are heavy items and do not ship well, but it's an option if you really want a Sailrite machine for a bit over half what they cost new.
PM me with your email address and I'll send a short video of it running.
