I wish I owned a 563 ....
ooh yeah
me too
she's a real beaut
poetry in motion mate
really like the stitch length too
and, hey how you getting on with the landy top?
Looks like mine only mines white and hAs reverse.
Look on the GSA auction web site, there is one for auction in Texas right now. I picked up my LU-563 a few months ago for $330 (wiith table) and it's practically brand new. It was a GOVT display model....and was in storage for many years. My buddy came over and said it was never used in his opinion. Now I just need to learn how to use it!

One of the most popular machines made over the past 25 years.
In case some are wondering, "Subclass 3" means a pretty rare (but not THAT rare) non reverse Juki model. Most LU-562/3 machines were made with reverse.

Thats a great find.. lucky you ! I could have bought a 563 in great cond. for $800 , about 3 years ago . .. I am kicking myself cos they have gone up in price recently .
I will try to post some pics of the Land Rover top..but I'm having problems uploading pics to this forum . Have others had problems with pics too?

No problems with pix you need a host site like photobucket
Pics of the top
The windows are a brass mesh ..I need to find some ..but can use plastic clear stuff if I need to .
There is strapping inside and its rather complicated like the British tend to make stuff.

some more ... this is a factory original replacement top..very old ... they used plastic at this point , not brass gauze .
The idea is you can roll up the rear curtain ..straps hold it up internally
