Battynurse Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I've decided I need to try to sell my machine for a number of reasons. I purchased the machine last year from what I think is the second owner for $3000. It's an APQS Ultimate II. It is on a 10 foot wood table. It is not stitch regulated although I've figured it out pretty well without that. When it sews it sews beautifully. I've been have problems lately with needle breaks which I'm truly not sure if this is an error on my part in setting the needle depth and timing or if there is an issue with the hook shaft. I have replaced the motor and the speed switch on it so those are both new. You might need a new hook assembly for it. It's an L bobbin and I have a few bobbin cases and bobbins I will include along with the part of the owners manual that I received. I'm in central coastal California, specifically Lompoc. It is possible to ship it all but is fairly expensive since the table is so heavy. I do have the shipping box for the machine head. Otherwise pickup is possible if you're within driving distance. I'm asking $1500 for it. I check in here fairly often or I can be reached at battynurse@gmail.com as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cute cat. Zeke. Are you going to get something different or quit altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 My plan is to eventually get something different, hopefully 6 months to a year down the road. Right now it's just making me crazy constantly working on the machine and not knowing if I'm doing it wrong or if there is something else. Plus not having enough money to take a class on repairing it or have it repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Good to know that you're not quitting. Talent is a bad thing to waste. I just picked up an UI for a good price minus the table. It was regulated and runs fine. A few days later I found a table. Good luck on your search miss batty. Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Batty: I spoke with Dave, and his "spa treatment" is $250. Though I am sure if it needs parts, they are more. You could check with him, to see if he will be in CA and could stop by to fix your issues. You would be putting more money into you problem child, but he might be able to fix it and keep you in the quilting game.

Battynurse Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks Cagey, I will look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Batty: Are you sure it has a 10' table. I've never actually seen one that was 10'. All I've seen are 12' tables. Jim Battynurse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yes Jim I'm sure it's a 10 foot table. I think I had read somewhere that there were some 10 ft tables made for the ultimate 2. It's funny because I was trying to decide if I could fit a 12 foot in my room whenever I upgrade and it sure would be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamilynn Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 How did you come up with yours price? I am looking at one locally for 2500. Is yours still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I came up with my price based on how much I had spent on it in purchase price and repairs or replacing parts, also not knowing if it needed further repair. Since I originally posted this I had Dave Jones come look at it and work on it for me. My needle depth was off and the machine apparently doesn't like magna glide pre wound bobbins, nothing wrong with the shaft as I had thought was a possibility. Since then I've been sewing on it and it's working fine. He had told me he could build a new table for it and a stitch regulator could be added but at this point I'd really like to put money towards a newer machine, after I pay off a couple of bills.

Battynurse Posted December 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yes it is. I've actually recently had it serviced and so everything is working beautifully. I had the shaft replaced, gear box repacked and basic overall spa treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
