How amazing that they thought about that when they went... Unless you are a collector of machines, then they would know to look. But, I don't think my husband would have thought of that...
Garage sales is where I have the best luck, but takes lots of looking. It was very nice of them to think of you while they were junking. Hope you post pictures!
I had to work today. My Husband and son went to yard sales They came home with a 1948 Featherweight and featherweight table for me . they got it for $40
Wow! What a deal! I was looking at a featherweight with no table and no case and they wanted $349 for it.
