needs a couple decimal points on the price...

Interesting, but I think way over priced?

I think I would be afraid to take this one into my herd - the plague might be contagious...

Singer must be to sewing machine as Kleenex is to facial tissue, or Bandaid....Heck, some people call any soda "Coke", so...

this machine is beautiful (IMHO, prettier than a red-eye)

It looks like a "Vincendora" to me.

That would be a great candidate for a handcrank conversion. I am not so sure I would trust the electrical! Not for that price though.

There are a few of those floating around town here that are identical to that la Vencedora (probably even the wiring). Here (Central Alberta) that seems to be the going price, or higher. I think it's because we're too far from the border, not a lot of pickings. I did pick up a lovely "Victorian" 28 with the original hand crank & motor in Calgary (S. Alberta) this weekend for less than that though.
