Cool! Thanks! It sounds like I have a winner! And I am lucky in that my uncle was a technician at a factory that used very similar machines. I just know it weighs a lot. Thanks again for the link.

Durkopp 211

Got gifted this machine; table needs work, but runs like a top. I found the manual online, just waiting to get it home to play. Anyone know anything about this machine? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. I guess the estate sale is still going on. I will run by and ask about the table, and hope for a lightning strike. Stranger things have happened. And I was bad again....

That is a neat machine. I got one a few years back. It sews nice, so whoever gets it, you will love it. It is sort of a salmon-ish pink, but pink none-the-less.
