    Never saw this before. It is like a parlor cabinet on steriods. Kind of cool.

    Has a real 70s feel. Great storage though.

    A neighbor gave my daughter one of those cabinets with a nice machine inside too. We gifted it to parents who were expecting twins. She was thrilled to have the machine. Said it was great. A Singer Futura something or rather I think.

    Today, at an estate sale, I saw a Necchi Supernova with the cool 3 sets of feed dogs wheels listed as an industrial sewing machine with cabinet and all accessories for $300. Didn't have all the presser feet, only 3, but wait it gets better. They said they contacted the Necchi manufacturing site which is where they got the value from and it was lower than the factory quoted them plus were told it dated from the 40s. I want to know how they contacted the manufacturer. I think they looked on Fleabay. It's industrial because their mom sewed upholstery fabric on it when she recovered the couch. When asked if I was interested, I said no thanks and gently suggested it was overpriced.
    Oh well, not sorry I let that one remain in place.

    I really WANT this machine, but do not want to pay 56 bucks for shipping.

    Well, if it's any consolation, it would be more than $110 to me and I'm closer than you are.

    This is a little off-putting though - "I will also lower the price although as there is no reserve I should just give this one away and charge only for the shipping. " passive aggressive.

    I thought there were some weird things that my 31-15 didn't have. According to Ismacs, that's actually a 96 but they look similar. It's the raised portion under the spool pins that twigged me to it being different but there are other differences too.

    the needle bar area and overall shape look very similar to my ultra weird 103 this being the "long arm" ( or maybe standard) and mine being the short arm version http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...50-332902.html
