Heads up to collectors in SW PA area
Just saw several vintage machines in cabinets at the Scotdale Goodwill yesterday. All priced $25 and under.
Almost got one of them that is the model I learned to sew on but since I don't think I will actually have room for it in my truck when I go back home to Texas next week I restrained myself.
They all looked to be in reasonably good condition but the cabinets in particular would benefit from additional TLC.
Hope they all find good homes!

Cathy has a good idea there. The first time my wife and I went back to Rhode Island to meet her family we did the same thing with a couple antiques we found.
If it's a machine you love it's worth it and a good reminder of your trip. Most sewing machines are held in the cabinet with two set screws on the hinges. It only takes a few seconds to remove the head. You can give the cabinet back to the store. Also a lot of Singer cabinets were designed to be flat packed for shipping. You can take them apart so they take less room.
