It really depends how much work it needs. Besides what would I do with the rest of it?

I love my redhead, and definitely want all the attachments for it. Is it difficult to convert. Remember I broke an indestructible bobbin winder! :) :) :)

You would just swap the presserfoot bars out and you can still use both of the machines. I was looking at the decals on the machine and they look worn that why I said I would swap presserfoot bars out on it. You can still clean it up and use it like you stole it and not have to worry about hurting the decals of your other machine.

I posted this last night and my internet went out on me before it was posted so here I go again.

If anyone is in the St Louis area this is a killer deal on a 66 in a bentwood case!!!

As far as the machine goes I would go look at it and see what the bed decals look like. They would have to be almost perfect before I would spend that and the machine. It looks like a 66-1 or 66-3 but I can not really tell from the photos. If the veneer is ruined on its the fold out top then its an easy fix but any other spot its a lot of work.

I would make an offer of $50 just to see. There were millions of these Model 66 Red Eyes made so its not like we are lacking in them at all. And for a $100 you can find an almost perfect one with all of the attachments.

I did not think so lol
I am going to look at that one this evening. I am sure I will grab it. I will send you pictures when I get home and if you had a spare plate that would be awesome-thank you so much! May I send you something in return for it if you do have it?
