But you did get a wonderful deal on your new machine and it looks really nice!!
This is a 185 that I am working on now, yes its a complete basket case and it took a cutting torch and a 3lb hammer to take it apart. But it will get a complete repaint and all new parts inside and will be just like a new machine before its over with.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. I'm thinking that I may just see if I can adapt it to a sewing cabinet that I have here that has no machine in it. Otherwise I will have to figure out a way to fix the base so that the machine doesn't wobble in it. There are some rubber stops on the inside of the base that are missing and am not sure where I'll find replacements for those. Otherwise it just needs a good cleaning.
I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning......isn't that silly?..LOL!
