    Default I picked up this $20 Treadle yesterday for my Daughter...

    Listed as "Worth $1000 before I used it as a plant stand. My loss is your gain. $20"

    Wow, really?....

    I Must say it is one Beautiful White Rotary in a small tigerwood cabinet, but not $1000 EVER.

    The top need a re-veneer, but we have several of those...

    Moves smooth as glass.

    She is very happy. Now she wants to re-home her full sized Bartlett treadle.

    You can see the HEAT damage from poor storage.

    A beautiful machine and the cabinet looks fine in the pictures. You were fortunate to find her. Hope you have fun using her.

    Doesn't that just make you sick to see what people let happen to something so beautiful.? It really is pretty.

    ​I've never seen a cabinet like that before. Neat find and she is in good hands now!

    Beautiful cabinet and machine. Seems as though everyone used the treadles as a plant stand. So sad.

    Oh wow, she is a beauty! I would not have guessed that that is what was inside the cabinet. Great find and greater price. Lucky you!

    I love it! Nice find!!! I was just checking my local CL just before I checked out this post and saw one listed that looks the same for 30 but not sure if the cabinet is including in the price. Was going to call and see if it's still available and what comes with it. http://rockford.craigslist.org/atq/3874864280.html

    Whites are such nice machines. I wish your daughter hours and hours of fun on her new machine.
