I’ve found a second hand Janome memory craft compulock for sale but due to its age I’m unable to find anything about it online. Would it be a good investment to buy this machine? It’s on bids so will probably end up costing the same as a modern budget overlocker. I have a brother 1034D overlocker which is pretty basic and quite temperamental, but I like the idea of an older sturdier machine which also does coverstitch.

Would this happen to be the model you are looking at?

I don't know anything about the serger you mentioned. If you post information about what you're wanting, maybe we can offer some suggestions. Do you feel comfortable working on the equipment yourself or would be taking it in for service. Also what fabrics do you anticipate serging on it. Will you be using it for construction or mainly fabric finishing. Good Luck. I hope find what you would like.
