I wonder how to do it too

I bet Joe could figure it out. He is so resourceful.

Yeah Joe! If anybody can do it I'm sure Joe can.

Guess what I have been up to? yup, you guessed it!! Craigslist again!

a professional 188U. it is pretty in an odd way! Is that price as expensive as it seems?

this one intrigues me -- clearly a vintage kenmore! no cabinet but a case for $50.

a kenmore 117-552. with cabinet, fifty bucks.

I want to LEARN!!!! grrr

Probably region dependent. Around here I'd say it was a little high - GW tends to have them from $10 to $40 - but not ridiculously so. OTOH the Whites have a very good reputation so if you're comparing it to new machines it's a no brainer.

Incredibly H.E.A.V.Y. they don't sell real fast so wait and offer less money. If you really want one I have one... It would cost a pile to ship it though.
