GONNA CHECK THIS MACHINE
#1
I saw this old Singer posted on Craigslist and decided to check it out tomorrow. The seller says it's still available and the machine still works. $50....you think it's a good price???

Thank you for your honest opinions. I think I will let this one go and try asking my nephew if he's ready to part with my sister's treadle instead. That would have more history to it.

Just seen this thread. So pleased you didn't buy it.
How can the seller say it works and have it in a condition where you can't test it? It's not even set in a base.
I wouldn't give two quid for it unless I was going to massacre it for parts.
Old machines are like buses. Another one always comes along, but you just don't know how long you'll have to wait.

Thank you all for your wise words to sway me from making this poor investment. Hubby said he saw a yard sale the other day and wished he'd known I was "looking" for a oldie. LOL Guess they do come up periodically in Hawaii. We are so isolated sometimes.
