I gave them $600 cash and they threw in a dozen bobbins and a couple dozen needles of various sizes. I came with a 1/2 hp, 3600 rpm clutch motor that takes time to master smooth usage. Not wanting to take that time, I purchased an Artisan 1800 rpm electronic servo motor ($160) that is as easy to use as a home machine. The price isn't for the faint of heart, but I probably could turn around and sell it for what I have in it.
Faint of heart? Then maybe I shouldn't mention that the top of the line home sewing machine is close to $6000?
Anyway, good on you! You got a pretty good deal there. Not many industrials out there for less than $1000.
