I paid $85 for a 1928 Leader in much better condition. That cabinet is bigger than mine. It comes down to what they are bringing in your area and how much it's worth to you. Is it dirty or is the finish damaged? I passed on two this morning, New Homes for $50 and $75, because they needed too much work for me. The cabinets were great, but the machines weren't.

the cabinet is gorgeous. but i think the decals and finish of the sewing head would not bear that price. JMHO

Too much money for the condition it's in... unless you are in love with it!

Pretty, but, I was thinking that you got a machine for FREE!

Seems high, but I'm from Rockford like the machine. It would be hard for me to say no.

The machine should be in perfect, spotless condition with all of the feet, instruction manual, etc for this price.

It looks like this machine has been well loved, as the decals on the bed are very worn. It also looks in need of a careful cleaning and needs the treadle belt.

My opinion as well. Maybe $100, the cabinet is beautiful.

It's too pricey.
