The Singer 27 is a serious and capable machine. Singer’s VS machines from this period are easy to use, inherently reliable with a decent supply of new and second hand spares. For the sake of originality I would be reluctant to divorce a good machine from a splendid cabinet. 😢 However it’s now your property and taking up your space so the choice is yours of course. Enjoy your machines! 👍🏻👌🏻

looks like quarter sawn oak, which Singer used quite a bit.
Singer made these cabinets in a variety of wood species, and I've seen some that must have been special order as they are not a type listed as normally available.

Thank you to all who mentioned keeping the 27!
I finally got a belt on it, oiled it up, and started cleaning.
It is actually a joy to sew with. aai was a bit intimidated at the thought of the shuttle, but it works like a dream.
First use of a treadle, and as long as I don't get it going the wrong way it works great.
Thanks again
