Wow, that is a very low amount of stitches for a used machine. If the average stitching speed was 1000spm, you're looking at only 2700 minutes or 45 hours!

Some of the frames appear to indicate a lot of wear. However, the previous owner had 4 EMT10s and 2 Amayas. Supposedly, this machine was used less than the other Amaya.
