Uncovering it first would be a good start but am wondering how many will actually turn up in that process. Probably more than I realize.
    I think I just stopped counting at 20... and the non-serviced, non-working ones don't count, nor do the ones that are just visiting... that will be given away or sold. That's what I keep telling DH anyway.

    I once got a guy down from $80 for a 201-3 to $30 because there was no cord/pedal. I brought one with me to test it. I really really wanted a 201 at that point. I even looked at it in the dark on a side street in mid-sized town Alberta. That would have been great to explain to a cop.

    La Vencedora, I think. Gorgeous!! One of my favorite decals, even if it's a little "loud" for my regular tastes. That and the India Star, I'd take in a heartbeat. I know someone who can do the wiring

    I bought a like new Pfaff Hobbymatic 935 from that seller. Nice people, but they don't really know a lot about the machines they sell. They also have a fairly decent 99 that they have been trying to sell for a while.

    Ameila - I recall these photos from before, complete with dirt specks on the motor. I guess they are still trying to sell it! A wonder, that. ;-)

    So, I am trying to picture a dark side street sewing machine transaction... BYOCord. And you plugged it in, um, where?

    0.38 amp motor? That is about the power of a FW. $600, Heirloom, Time wasters, Power Point(?), Sowing, and ....also comes with ply wood... OMG! IT HAS SOME PLYWOOD!!! It must be one of those pieces of plywood that is worth $550.00
    You are going to start a bidding war here Frudemoo!!!

    Let's revisit that part in the ad about no time wasters...

    Must be a 201 thing. I just picked mine up from a guy in a service lane on the side of the freeway! He was like, "Do you want to look at it?" .... and all I could think was, I'm already here, what am I going to do?? I basically had a quick peek to ascertain that the 201 was in the case and that was it Must admit I thought about the cops too.

    "not testable" It has a kneebar. I wonder if it is still in the lid. That one I would grab at a discounted price. It would clean up beautifully!
