A few weeks ago, a Singer 16 long arm was offered on the Seattle area CL for $25. No table, no motor, just the head. The seller claimed it was in working order. So, does that mean Singer 16 long arms are worth $25?

Oh, that is so wonderful - I would buy it in a heartbeat! If it's only 20" tall, I wonder if it's more doll size than kid size? Trying to visualize...

not sure about the base, but that's just a normal, 3/4 size Standard machine, nothing that special about it, and for sure not a "child's" machine any more than a Singer 128 is one.

I kind of think someone may have removed the drawers and mounted the treadle legs directly to the top . Notice that the top of the treadle stand is sticking out from the wood base, and there is no dust catcher. When I get home I'll have to look over my Standard cabinets. I do have several with short legs because of how they mount to the drawers and not to the table top.

looked at some pictures online- yup it's a Standard (standard size) treadle cabinet someone removed the middle from LOL!! you can save a lot of money by buying a complete one and doing the hack job at home!

Well, thank you for saving me from myself (even though I was NOT planning to drive from NY to Georgia)! I didn't even think of that. Now I don't have to feel bad about not getting it - and have to learn to be more observant!

ACK!!!! Just looked again - I thought it was $150, not $1500! Wow.
