I just passed one up an decrepit industrial about an hour ago - I was at the flea market - yours looks a little worse. The walking foot was broken or I would have gotten whip lash breaking out some money. DH was along and he kind of was vetoing the idea of something that big with no table and no motor and needing parts..........

www.crimsonforge.com is my armoring site. I specialize in gauntlets, and HATE making helms. However, the person I made that for had just won a coronet tourney (SCA) and asked me as "prince" to make him one. The visors are interchangeable. The brass coronet on the helm is etched with his heraldry and such.

Now I just need to find someone to take it... SOON.

I now have FOUR electric machines that were "gifted" to me sitting in my yard or garage.

Singer 31-20 Industrial
Singer 66 small cabinet
Brown "gorilla" Kenmore Small Cabinet
Green Kenmore (faceted) in small cabinet

I am going to have to hold a "free to good home" yard sale.....
