Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell

has anyone bought machines from Shopgoodwill.com? They have several that seem to be a good deal.

I was just sharing what I found in my area. I'm surprised at how much people are asking for some of these machines. I guess they think just because they are old that they are worth a fortune. Some are very pretty, but I have no intentions of buying any more machines right now.

We have this exact cabinet with a 301. DH is taller. Let me ask with lunch. Also I wonder if you can lift it if you want it taller. DH did this with our 66 treadle cabinet so now it is almost 3 inches up. A little under one inch on the bottom and about two inches above the top of the metal stand. He put small wooden blocks on the top of the metal stand and lifted the whole top and machine that way nearly 2 inches. No belt yet but it is more comfortable petalling.[/quote]
Hey Annaquilts,
I was thinking of lifting it. Probably would have to make a little U shaped platform with the middle cut out for "me". I noticed Billy has his treadle station on a raised platform. Something like that might work.
