Maybe I should try to pick this one up for a spare. My main sewing machine is a Pfaff 130.

You would think an OSMG would know better!!

I actually WANT this one! a friend just found one of these at a flea market here in OK for $5 on sat...but it was boat anchor...she wants to restore it, but not sure she will find all of those parts!

Dayle; If seller is reasonable, I'd be all over that machine. That is on my wish list/some day list and been haunting CLs to no avail, yet.:)

His has never been used except for demos. His dad (an OSMG) bought it when he was a singer dealer and it never sold. So it is in mint condition. I guess that is where the number is coming from - the condition.

I have been seeing some absolutely crazy prices on CL and eBay lately!! People must be desperate for cash....too bad for us. Not many good deals out there.

Jacquie,

Close to Lubbock? Sudan is past Shallowater, past Littlefield, and almost to Muleshoe! I can't imagine he will have any takers. Try him again in a few days.

That machine is extremely heavy. It will be expensive to ship.

Neat lamp rig up on it, isn't it?

Not vintage, but I think she still is smoking the good stuff. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/art/2924816069.html

Quick Google search shows a (really) brand new Brother XL 2600i for $80, which is $50 less than a (used) "brand new" one! WHAT???! I can't believe this one keeps showing up!

not familiar with this type of treadle? have any of you seen one like this before?
