Info or comments on a Union Special 43200

Hmm, I didn’t see any reference to this being a straight stitch machine.  I only see Union Special 43200G, which is a chain stitch hemming machine with two needles used to make bluejeans.  I have no idea whether you can use only one needle on it to do straight stitches.  They sound like they are on the medium to heavy-duty side of things though.  Probably not all that helpfull….

Thank you Craig for taking the time to help out. I really appreciate it. There are a few version A trough F of the Union Special and the one I’m hoping to get was used for jean and bag making and has only one needle. Somehow I still can’t figure out which exact model it is. But for the price, including a table, no shipping needed and all in my Canuck’s dollars it may just be worth trying it.

Cheers

I just googled it. That thing looks crazy! Good luck.

Yep it looks overkill to say the least! that’s why I’ll go try it first but right now, the owner is having some separation anxiety issues… I may only be able to try it or buy it in a few weeks. All good since I should really work on finishing my four person version of a Caffin winter tent and for that, my little Pfaff is just fine.
