NJ Quilter, not trying to say yours isn't special, you got an awesome deal. But $500? No way I'd pay that much even if I could afford it.

I saw one about a year ago, I think they wanted $150 for it and you had to pick it up, and it was 500 miles away.
Later I hit pay dirt, found one for only $20. Beautiful shape except -------- some one had modified the legs and it stood only 16 inches high. So I got it anyway and have since put pipe extension legs on it that work very well.
Next problem ------ my FW is a 1934 with the bobbin tension on the front instead of the top and it won't fit. So I will wind the bobbins I need and take the tension thing off and use it that way.
By the way, I love my little Midge FW.

I've seen the crazy folks asking $500 but most ads I've seen seem to be in the $100 plus range. Still too rich at that point for my cheap blood! I only paid $40 for the FW (in excellent condition I might add) so why would I pay more than that for the table??? Hubs kind of looked at me sideways when I told him what I was doing but then I told him the prices being asked (and apparently paid) and he seemed less skeptical. He was actually pretty impressed with it when I got it home.

I'll keep looking and let you know if I find another deal on one. You're not that far away and it's an easy excuse to get more crabcakes.
