Your machine is great. I just picked one up at an estate sale (I'd been looking for one). It's top lid is broken and I had to replace a spool holder, but I love it. My boys can sew on it and I don't worry about them messing it up. As for your cabinet-IT IS FABULOUS. I LOVE that style. My house is an eclectic mess of styles but that one brightens my day!

Lovely, yes even the cabinet. Linda I wish I had yours, it shares a birthday with me.......we are both 54. I think you scored, I just love old cabinets and machines, yep even the less pretty ones. I enjoy collecting these, but out of room in my sewing space. I've started scattering the prettier ones around the house and decorating with them, I just love all the different styles. Enjoy yours.

I love the look of the 503! I sometimes uncover my Rocketeer when I'm not using it but working in the sewing room just to look at.
That cabinet may not be pretty but very functional. I'm into functional for my sewing room stuff.
