Here comes the bride!

So, looks like I've just purchased my first clone! .... for 99c.
I have to get it sent from interstate but I think the unique decals make it worthwhile. Turns out the seller said he brought it with him from Greece! He had a gypsy friend there who found it somewhere and gave it to him. Not entirely sure why it's missing so many parts. I presume it was like that since he got it... and I'm hoping that they will be easy to replace. Anyway, it's fun to look at! I make wedding dresses so it's a particularly fun machine for me to own and display :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]444848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]444849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]444850[/ATTACH] |

I have to thank Mike for making me buy it at the last second. Sometimes it's good to have an enabler ;)
I did try unsuccessfully to try and get you to buy that VS2 last weekend so you owed me a purchase ;) |

Mostest in awesomeness Amelia. That one is well worth fixing.
|
Wow! Neat looking machine! Hope you can get it up and going!
|
Very cool machine!!!
|
I am speechless. That is just the most amazing machine -ever-, and so perfectly suited to your profession.
It looks just like my avatar, except painted up differently, of course. I am quite sure you will have no problem finding a parts machine for $10 - $20 and making the Bride all complete again. Seriously, wow. Where do you find this stuff?!? You and Mike have fabulous Sewing Machine Karma. -C. p.s. I am sure you are thoughtful enough to think of this, but -do- make sure he packs it well to protect the decals! I have noticed that people like to stuff parts and foot pedals on the flat bed, unprotected, which of course wrecks the decs. |
This is such an adorable machine. I've not seen another like it.
|
Great find! The parts should be a snap to locate, even there in the underplanet....
|
Very pretty machine. I hope that you're able to get the missing parts and use her.
|
That is spectacular! Fantabulous! and really cool! :sew:
|
It's wonderful! Amazing how many different brand names and intricate decals where out in "way back when." You've found a winner.
|
Never seen a machine like this one, she is a beauty, you will get the parts.
|
what a pretty machine and so unique for your business too!! Aemilia
|
WOW. what a great machine.
|
WOW is all I can say,,,,neat
|
Beautiful! You always find the best machines!
|
Such a beautiful machine and the words are written in English too. Wonder who the real maker is ?
|
***W*OW*** that is a super neat machine.
|
What a great machine, and a great price! Congratulations!
|
Wow - what a response! Thank you SO much everyone for your lovely words. I am looking forward to receiving the machine, these are just the pics from the auction. After a great conversation with the seller I am hoping he will pack it very carefully :) ... Will definitely keep y'all up to date. So far no donor machines. Of course, there WOULD be a shortage of 15 clones right when I need one. But I will try and be patient, even though I'm no good at it ;)
