Ok, I got the Pinky. There is a bit yellowing on some parts of the finish, but it still looks very good overall.
I usually never haggle but the bobbin case was missing and the motor was making a very clunky sound, so I offered 20$. The seller was just happy to get rid of it, so it was ok for him. I'm pretty sure oiling, cleaning and changing the motor carbon brush will take care of the clunky sound. Now I hope the spoked wheel I have on hand will fit... my daugter would be so happy to have this one!
Pictures will follow next week, when the cleaning job will be done.
