    Considering a new thread injector

    To the veterans of thread injecting. I am looking for a new (OLD) thread injector. I found one I am considering. Although I don't know enough about these to know if it is worth taking a risk on this or not its about $50. It is supposedly a 1950 era model. See pictures below, they are not the best quality, and they don't show the model. But can you thread injector gurus tell me if this is a good model? And possible problems, easily reparable still.

    I am wanting to start thread injecting heavier gage material, canvas, leather (Thinner leather), binding doe edging...etc. I am hoping it has a back stitch feature.

    Looks like one of the Singer 306 models. I'm not very familiar with them....google it for more info.

    Oh I've dealt with it believe me. I sew, cook, clean and everything else. Nothing wrong with being self sufficient.
