Vtg Anker RZ Matic Sewing Machine & Manual, All Metal, Heavy Duty, Just Serviced - $300 - (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 machine sews excellent and looks good too. 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 light musty smell when you open the cover. It was clean as found and there is no sign of mildew anywhere. 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 as shown. The carry handle has black tape covering what I imagine are splits but I've picked it up by the handle with no problems. I've been told to always carry these machines holding the base. I've shipped table-top sewing machines before with no damage- 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.
