That is one beautiful machine. If it were mine, there is no way I'd give it up. I don't understand people.

I'd probably keep it also, but for most folks, it is just an impractical piece of furniture that can't be used for anything due to the coffin top.

Not sure I would use olive oil on it either.

I had wondered about the olive oil on the wood because it can become rancid. The Howard's stuff would seem to be a better choice for me.
I also would keep that beautiful sewing machine but then I collect them.

Loved the title too: "I have a sewing machine that is white asking 85 dollars"
So let me get this straight: You lied to me (it's new, well not really)? you don't know what it does? And you don't have it? (I will get it later on) and I'm reasonably sure no one on this continent writes a phone number that way.

Sounds like a heck of a deal. I better jump on this one. ;)

I can't answer one single question you've asked based on what I can decipher of that listing. :D
