That's a Juki DNU-1541 ,I've had mine for 20 years and they work great . Commercial walking foot sewing machines hold all their value and will sew thru a 1/4" wood ruler so keep your digits out of the way . A while back I got this one for a back up a Consew 206-rb-5 from a guy who thought he was going to sew up his own interior and then found out how hard it is to learn how to sew custom seats . Get some scrap material and practice going as slow as possible to learn control by feathering the pedal just like you would starting a truck. Once you get it down hide it under a tarp and don't tell anybody or you'll soon find out how many friends you have that come with their own projects .
