That was HIS chair too, as a hand-me-down from my wife when she replaced hers with a different type. He was resting up to play more “tugga-rope” with me. As you can tell from the rope laying in his chair, he won the last round....

I like the machine as well as that neat cabinet, not so fond of the era of cabinet but like the whole idea of how it is made and the space, great for fmq. Your machine is in excellent condition, I would be really proud of it. Have fun with it.

That cabinet won't win any beauty contests, but formica is great for sewing - it's nice and slippery and a cinch to clean. Plus all that room - after you use it a while, I'll bet it gets prettier in your eyes. The 503 is a terrific machine too; looks right at home in that sea of formica. Did you get cam #11 (ribbon)? It's my favorite.

Actually, we’ve found, that if you stack enough plastic tubs full of fabric, quilt blocks, thread, crafting supplies, rarely-used sewing tools, and other junk up under the cabinet, surrounded by a cute curtain made from fabric with vintage sewing machines printed on it, the style of the cabinet becomes a non-issue. The large work surface then becomes the main focus of attention.
