Does anyone know anything about this overlocker?
There's one on e-bay and I wondered if it was worth bidding for and how much to go up to.
Thanks
Susan

Oops - I thought only one post had gone out not two - sorry!

That model is 7+ years old... It's the precursor for the 905 and 910: I bought my 910 in 1998. Don't go over £100. Has the free-arm, which is useful.
How long do they live?
Will it need a lot of servicing?
Thanks

I use mine a lot: it has stood up to it pretty well!
The current models (905/910/935) are made by Toyota, and built like a brick netty! Dunno who made that one, but as it has the free arm, I suspect Toyota too. I've also owned two Toyota brand serger/overlockers, and they are both built to the same high standard and have stood the test of time.
As a professional dressmaker putting lots of work through all my machines, I'm a bit fanatical about servicing, and mine get done every year - more often if I think they need it. I'm also rather religious about cleaning and oiling and giving them new needles. I don't put the machine away without a good clean, and it gets new needles for every project, to suit the fabric. My Toyota (bought last June) came used, with a one year guarantee. It got serviced a couple of weeks ago: the dealer I bought it from was surprised it came in for a service, but pleased that I did that when I explained how much use it got in the last year!
Thanks Kate for your help.
