Overpriced but gorgeous! For some reason, it's fairly uncommon to see a German machine here with its treadle base. They're usually portables.

Those are both really great deals to me. That New Home is in really nice shape and it's an early electric to boot.

So is the treadle worth that much or have I really been getting smokin' deals on most of my German machines?

3-500 around here

So I've been doing really well with my German machines then. I'd love a German treadled machine but I truly don't have the room ATM anyway. I'm in a purge phase though, so that may change.

The title and description are classic:

Not sure I have ever seen a magnetic pint rapper; looks like a good price if it is the 201-2 the fuzzy pictures make me think it is. I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER 201--repeat as necessary
