I did have this cabinet and I loved it especially the drop down feature on the top. It takes seconds to drop the top down and/or raise it back up. Seems like I bought mine sometime in the late 70's or early80's at the Signer Sewing Center at the time I purchased a new machine. The compartments on the door were wood with the exception of the thread rack which was plastic. I do not know about the rest of the cabinet because I never looked and it had no scrapes or scratches when it moved on to someone else. It is easy to let the machine up and down and to take it out of the cabinet for travel. There is a nice work space to the left of machine. Although the cabinet is a older one, it is well made and would a good buy for anyone needing a cabinet. I do not recall what I paid for it but it was not cheap as I was in my young and stupid era and paid way more for it than I should have. Hopes this helps you out.

I have her twin sister. My later MIL purchased it in the middle to late 60's with a Singer in it (one of the Touch and Sews) at a Singer dealer. She had her Bernina sitting on top of it. I love this cabinet, so much storage. Found an old Touch & Sew and reinstalled it. It's my "go to" machine when I want to mend jeans - have all my non-quilting sewing supplies in it. I'd probably give up a whole lot of my other machines before this one and the cabinet!

I remember my Mom having a Singer touch and sew, why is beyond me she NEVER made a thing on it. I wonder what ever happened to it. She had one of those cabinets that after the machine was dropped down inside it looked like a desk.
OP I would buy that cabinet in a heartbeat....

I sold that same cabinet in 1976-77 at the Singer store in the mall. It was the top of the line cabinet and I was paid 3% commission on it. Brings back memories. Husband was in college at the time. Do you remember the Athena 2000, one of the first electronic machines? It fit in that cabinet.
