I simply would not use it enough to make money. Did not think to ask because he knew i was looking for a used machine. He took my number and said he would call if he runs into anything that would do what I need and is in a price range I can live with.
I'm just starting out sewing leather - mostly bags and backpacks. I found one on ebay and I liked the price, but thought that I would see what you had to say on the matter. That RE is a portable dual feed walking foot machine, with a driven outer presser foot and bottom feed dog, both with teeth. It is fine for use on small upholstery and sail repair jobs, using outdoor canvas, Sunbrella and Naugahyde or similar vinyls. Not so good on leather, unless it is very thin and soft.
It will handle thread sizes up to 92, using a 20 needle, but it will last longer using 69 thread and a 18 needle. It will bend the presser foot drive lever and seize shafts in their cheap bearings. These are Chinese clones of other clones of earlier clones of the Thompson portable. The best of the bunch is the current models from Sailrite, as they have beefed up moving parts and connecting rods and better bearings.
I made the mistake of buying a machine like this off eBay. It arrived with the main shaft seized from handling by the carriers, although the box had no external damage. The drive levers could be bent with your hands. I was lucky enough to get a partial refund after paying to ship it back. You can post now and register later.

Fill oil in the resorvior for the rotating hook mechanism up to the level marked on the oil gauge. Left twist thread should be used in the needle, but either right or left twist thread can be used in the bobbin. Page 5: Threading The Machine After the bobbin is filled with thread, release will cause wheel to disengage from the belt and winding will stop.
Cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the spindle. Adjustment screw 5 can be turned in or out to increase or decrease the amount of thread wound on the bobbin. If the tension on either thread is stronger than on the other, imperfect stitching will be the result. If the tension on the upper thread is greater than that on the lower thread, it will be straight along the upper surface of the fabric. In due course, the plunger will enter into a notch in the feeding mechanism.
In case the hook gets jammed with thread or other foreign matter, the safety device disengages the driving belt, stops sewing, and thus prevents the machine from getting damaged. If it should become necessary to re-engage the safety clutch, depress the button E, Fig.
Finally, adjust the timing marks mentioned in the item No. Set the needle hole 1 on the feeder to 1. When the needle bar is at its highest point, normally the measurement between the surface of the needle plate and the upper end of the needle eye is To adjust this, loosen the set screw 2, Fig. Loosen the screw 1 , turn the balance wheel until the opener 2 is located at the extreme right hand position of its travel. In this position, adjust it so that the clearance between the inside edge of the opener and the tab on the bobbin case holder is about 0.
If, when the momentum does not synchronize, or increasing or decreasing that of the upper and needle feed according to the sewing conditions, the following adjustments are offered.
