She sold it to a friend and its still being used.

That's right Sharon......I had forgotten about the red paint spots, thanks for jolting my memory. The oil bottle had a long metal tip so you could reach every red spot. I bought my 730 brand new in May 1971.

Glad to help jar the brain cells. Kim(dd) got her 730 for her 16th birthday in 2003, the serial # indicates it was made in 1966. She learned to sew on my Bernina 1031, so I ruined the girl for any other brand of machine. She has two 930's and makes lots of costumes, so her machines really get used lots.

It does look to be in good condition. TC is an easy 50 miles, but I don't need two treadles. I know, buy the Two Spools and sell the Leader.
Buslady, there are 2 machines for $30 in Weidman. Do you have to go Mt Pleasant again soon?
