Tajima TMEX-C1201, 12 Needle, Single Head Industrial Embroidery Machine / hats

Description

Listing is for a used TMEX-C1201 with 2 round hoops, 2 cap hoops, cap gauge, and cap driver.
This is a 1997 Machine according to Stitch-It and Hirsch.  These are solid, well built machines that are easy to maintain and run non-stop.
It includes the brackets for flats, which are not in the photos.
Machine has upgraded USB Port for design transfer.  Use the smallest USB sticks you can find as they are treated like 1.4MB floppies.
Machine was used daily to run hats and does a fantastic job. It is in excellent condition with know known issues.
I am selling it because I no longer need it.
This machine made me a lot of money.  It will do the same for someone who is in the business of embroidery.
I regularly run hats at 650spm but it will sew them much faster if you are willing to tolerate the occasional thread break.  I have run this machine at full wide open on hats (1200 spm) and it will sew them.  I also had my embroidery technician look at it when he was here last and he said it was running fine.
I have owned the machine for 4 years and it has run smoothly for me during that time.  I keep it on a UPS unit for surge protection and recommend you do the same.  A UPS unit is not included.  The thread pictured on the machine is not included.  I will trim and tape the thread with scotch tape so you don't have to rethread the tension wheels and take up levers.
I strongly recommend coming to see the machine in person and seeing it sew before you buy it.  I can also do Facetime / Zoom for you to see the machine once you have purchased it and prior to you picking it up or having it picked up.
Machine is located in my home in Houston, Texas.
Prefer local pickup due to the complexities of shipping an embroidery machine.
The machine weighs approximately 700 pounds.
UShip is probably the easiest way to move an embroidery machine.  Origin is 77017, residential.  Appointment required for pickup.
I shipped a 2 head machine that way this week and is was smooth and easy.
I do recommend you fully insure the machine when shipping just in case something happens.  I'm happy to take pre-shipment photos for you when the machine is picked up.
I prefer not to crate the machine as lumber is expensive and Trucking companies are not nice to freight.
I am not in a hurry or desperate to sell the machine.
