I think she ended up with a Riccar.

I picked up the machine today and I am completely bummed out. She left the machine sitting out in the elements and the finish is coming off of the cabinet and the papers, accessories, cams and all are missing. The machine is not frozen but it is very stiff to move so I am going to have to tear it all the way apart and give it a complete service.
I can not believe that she did this to a 500A :roll: :evil: :evil:
I will post a few photos of it as it sits and hope I can save the cabinet.

Well for what its worth I have the machine back together and it runs like a champ!!!
But there is a few issues I have to deal with. I am still missing cams but I found a box of accessories for a 301 that most of the feet that were with the machine originally. But I am missing the Zig Zag foot so I can not play with the optional stitches. The cabinet needs refinishing and I really do not like messing with the cabinets but looks like I will for this one.
All in all this is a wonderful machine and I really love the fact that it does all of the fancy things that the new ones can do.
