Consew 389RB-2 Features Adjustments Threading and Applications

[@StringDriver]

A technician friend clarified for me - I have the exact same machine - that the oiler is not a valve, per se, but a counterweight that moves up and down on the spring-arm. It moves up and down with the vibration of the machine to pull oil up onto the trough into which the wick is inserted. Almost like a “splashing”. The vibration of the machine was the missing part I couldn’t logically follow , trying to understand how the mechanism worked. When the machine is at rest and the user has the cap/cover and gasket off and he or she is looking down at the mechanism, it’s not apparent how it works. But it is definitely not a valve in the traditional understanding and function of a valve. It moves over a cast iron bed, without a port to open or close - as a valve would. This very video helped me to decide to purchase my machine. So THANKS Captain Andrew, 🫡skipper of the war ship🚢

Really awesome demonstration.

Thanks Mom

Thank you for making this video. I sew my own work pants on a flat bed machine and it's so difficult to triple stitch the leg seams. I believe a post bed machine would make it much easier as you showed, and double stitched would be plenty strong I'm sure.

That post bed is really cool. I've never seen such a thing. Oh! And I was JUST going to ask if it had a regular bed, too, and now you're showing the one you made. :o)

[@Mikefngarage]

Hello Alexander, thanks for showing the machine. I'm in the marker for a post bed sewing machine; for leather craft. Is this machine for sale? if not can you recommend where I can get one to buy, thanks.

[@AlexanderDyer]

I sold it. Maybe try www.campbell-randall.com/

[@donleo4x434]

any videos on Consew 329r-1??

[@noth1ngiswrong]

I have an industrial coverstitch machine that has the same method of stitch adjustment but when the button lines up in the notch the cam doesn’t budge. Any helpful hints? Thanks

[@BrainDeadEngineering]

Wow what a all in one machine ! Can you pull a needle and sew with just one ? I bet this machine is rare to find . I have a Durkopp 67and have fun. Sewing is a great anxiety crusher ) I will just sew lines lol

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

Fantastic !! Do you sell this machine? I know I can buy local and all that, but if you sell them, I'd be willing to pay the freight etc. to help support your sharing your knowledge with us.

[@AlexanderDyer]

This one is for sale. Can you DM me here or on Instagram.

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

@@AlexanderDyer I dont do instagram, but how do I contact you here?

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

@@AlexanderDyer Found your email and sent one to you. Thank you.

[@AlexanderDyer]

I did not get an email from you. Put your email in the comments, it will not be posted until I approve it which I will not. That way I will get it and no one else will.

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

Were you able to find my email?

[@Mikefngarage]

do you use a double needle like that to do a flat stitch?

[@AlexanderDyer]

That flat fell seam is typically done on a machine like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpu5mpZvfrmtepI

[@Khartizan]

good day, happy day, really grateful for your videos, I would like you to help me, with this problem.. I have this same machine but the gauge or needle width is 5/6, and I would like to enlarge it, is it possible? I know that you say it in the video, but as the shuttles graduate, I would really like to get in touch. I am in Venezuela and I am translating the text, regards and much success

[@5ive7even]

Hi, is there a way I can contact you. I recently bought a Juki 3568A double needle sewing machine and I am having issues with the bobbin. I'm not familiar with this style case as I have only used home machines before this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@bernicejulkes517]

Where can I buy the 389RB2 ? My P1206RB use big bobbins can they use the same one??

[@AdamKraft-gw4dw]

Wondering where I could get the tape guide used in this video. Cant seem to find one searching. Thx

[@AlexanderDyer]

Atlanta Attachment Company or Tennessee Attachment Company

[@AdamKraft-gw4dw]

@@AlexanderDyer Thank you

[@FUBAR956]

Is there a post bed double needle machine that can sew B-207 contrast thread?

[@AlexanderDyer]

The literature says that this machine will take a #24 size needle which is big enough for tex210 thread. Does that answer your question?

[@zall1321]

I hope I can afford a big enough basement to put all the machines I want in it.

[@kylezilke4921]

This is a great machine and is from when Seiko owned them if I’m not mistaken.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Could be, it is made in Tokyo, Japan. I could not find any Seiko marks in the casing though.

[@Zan_zelee]

@@AlexanderDyer Did Seiko manufacture the early consew units?

[@Zan_zelee]

@Alexander Dyer In regards to function. How does the 389 RB-2 compare the 229R? Obviously the technology is better but are the quality of stitches any different? Thank you for the awesome video archives!!!

[@jamesmoorer4946]

I have a Cobra 4 16" cylinder arm machine

What’s with the bizarre red lighting? Fabulous content but the red light looks like something from a warship at night. I’d love to see this video with natural lighting. The closeups are even contrasty, dark and red. Super difficult to see the machine this video is about.

A Warship! Cool! And I'm like Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October. 🙏🙏🙏
