If the price is right, grab it....even if it never works again....the craftsmanship of the old Singers is fantastic....wish we had some of that quality workmanship and prettiness now.....now we are all into "plastic" and throw away......

Would you buy this? or should I let it pass and look for a featherweight

.................The only problem that I can see, if you buy this machine, is that you will be doomed to start collecting these old machines until you start running out of room in your house. You will be looking for new and unique way's to hide (I mean display) your machines....such as the bathroom .....................CabbagePatchKid
LOL, As it happens, I do have room for a cabinet in my bathroom. I've got two cabinets waiting to be refinished. One is going in my diningroom. I know exactly where. The other????????? I was hoping for the livingroom, but things are pretty tight in there.
