It started with an ad on FB

I've been lusting for a cylinder arm machine starting about a month and a half after I bought my Leatherwork flatbed 3 years ago. Ruining a hat with a heavy visor insert and I knew the flatbed combined with my limited abilities was gonna be a problem. After fighting with tight corners and trying to sew multiple layers, skipped stitches when transitioning different thicknesses and a myriad of other snafus I knew a needle feed compound walking foot was in my future. Price check and watch a gazillion videos on Juki 1341 (the granddaddy most are based on) costing in excess of $5000 (oh, you want that delivered?), a Thor GL-1341 with a list under $3,000 (oh, you want that delivered?). Look at a TechSew 2750 Pro for under $3,000 but that was last June and since it's now October they start at $3,298 and yes, I want it delivered. SewPro, Jack, Cowboy, Cobra all breaking $3,000 plus you guessed it delivery of a couple three hundred dollars. Look at some used Juki 341s, only $2,000 but wait, I want a servo motor, I want a speed reducer, yes I want it delivered and again we're barking up the $3,000 tree. Then I saw this ad:

Well, somethings gotta be wrong with this picture and sure enough, I want a servo-motor, I want a speed reducer, I want a damn stand for it with a knee lift.

Well, it's now October and I pull the trigger tomorrow and here's the invoice:

Yep, you read that right $1540 and that includes delivery.
