Vtg Anker RZ Matic Sewing Machine, All Metal, Heavy Duty, Just Serviced W German - $500 - (Ida Grove, IA)
Anker RZ Matic sewing machine, made in West Germany, just cleaned, oiled, and adjusted by a professional sewing machine repairman. Of the four nice older machines I had serviced, my repairman was most impressed with this one. He told me this is an all-metal, heavy duty, commercial-grade machine that is very hard to find because people don't let go of them once they have them. All it needed was a new light bulb and a pack of new needles. It comes with it's original 90-page manual (very hard to find), as well as two spool holders (usually missing), and various other small parts you see in my photos. All it is missing is a belt and linkages that were only used for appliques and doesn't affect the performance of the machine. This machine will do a double stitch- machine didn't come with the round double needles needed to do this but they are available online. Check out the stitches it made in doubled denim. This is a fine-sewing vintage machine. More photos available upon request. Issues- I noticed two small chips to the enamel paint at the edges of the hinge for the pop-up hood. There is a noticeable musty smell when you open the cover. It needs a good airing out or some deodorizer. This is a used machine and shows minor wear/scratches to the paint, mostly confined to the table. Cover has moderate wear/tears to the faux alligator skin fabric covering. The carry handle has black tape covering what I imagine are splits but you can pick it up by the handle. I've been told to always carry these machines holding the base. I've shipped table-top sewing machines before with no problems- I always package carefully. This will probably be shipped FedEx. I will be listing two more nice old machines- please check them out. $40 economy shipping is to the lower 48 states only. Free local pickup is always welcome.
