Having already taken possession of a 96k49 and a 31k15 treadle (will convert to hand crank)... I've now gone and agreed to buy a 31k47, which is a walking foot machine with a 3/8 of an inch clearance - that should get stuff done...
Anyone else got one?

No... but I’m looking for a 348

Ah yes, my Doris (because she is homely looking and powder blue - even the foot control cables). There's a spares or repairs one on eBay at the moment but it has no cams...

I’ve got the cams but no machine!..I only want it because it’s blue!

I've been after one of those for a while. Someone local has listen one on ebay, but it turned out not to be a walking foot model. :(
Probably a good thing, as I really don't have the space. Currently persuading myself that I don't NEED one.
Unsuccessfully.

Ah, yes, the extra clearance and walking foot was what sold me. It was £200 so not dirt cheap, but they are not easy to get hold of at dirt cheap prices.
It’ll do medium to heavy weight (I believe it’s described as “an introductory leather machine”) so I can set up the 96k49 with the roller wheel, the 31k47 for more heavy work, and use the 31k15 as a hand crank/spares.
Base off 31k47 is prettier. Table off 96k49 is tidier, all three heads fit in the same aperture. And new servo motor and belt to go on. Sorted
