How to control my enthusiasm? Halfway across the country from home, attending a convention, and I see a Facebook message from a friend who lives another several states away. While drifting through a neighbors yard sale, she spies an antique White in cabinet with all sorts of accessories. She gave it to my friend. Now to get it to me . . . Next weekend perhaps - Christmas in July.

BTW....Yesterday, I brought home a brown lotus (decal) model 66 in a treadle cabinet, that I saw on CL. Both of them will be my guinea pigs in learning how to clean up a frozen machine and refinishing a cabinet. I've already learned a lot just by taking the top of the cabinet off of the treadle base, and removing the drawers and the dust panel on the underneath of the cabinet top.
But I did call about two more on CL tonite I am going to go pick up tomorrow.

Here is a perfect example........
for sale is a solid wood white company sewing machine that still works i have seen ones similar going for 700 plus i am asking 300 obo because i know mine need to be refinished but over all in amazing condition and in working order this one has the cabinet in the front and the sewing machine folds up into it for hiding and it can become a desk i really want this to go to someone who will appreciate it

I even found a 1955 Pontiac Station Wagon I might try to buy, it was complete and looked like it might would run!

I posted a quiry on pg 1325 that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. If anyone can help me with it, I would be very grateful.
