Very shortly, I shall be on my way to pick up a Juki DLU-450-4 industrial walking foot sewing machine.
It's a curious beast on account of it having an under-bed trimmer and a positioning system, yet it has a clutch motor. There's a bird's nest of cables connecting motor to control box to machine, so it's going to be quite a task trying to figure out what's what. It seems that the manufacturer of all this wizardry is Efka.
Making the machine look and run like new is my summer project. I need something to do during the seven week summer break!

Well, I've picked it up. The seller is an upholsterer; he bought it to replace his ageing Singer, but prefers the Singer, so decided to sell it.
Although it has a clutch motor, it behaves like a modern servo. Apart from the noise...
