I have aquired two 1950's Union Special industrial machines, (511000bp) they came from a paper sack factory, now i need a machine for sewing up tarpaulins for my boat, i emailed Union but they are only interested in selling me a new machine, these two machines sew a wide knotted up stitch for closing the bottom of sacks, does any one know....
A; if i can get a simple stitch out of these machines ?
B; if not, are they worth anything as part exchanges ?
C; any where i can find spares to convert them to normal stiching ?
D; should i throw them in a skip ?
Thanks for answering my questions
