The locking hardware looks good but do need some wood and veneer repair. The left plate has been broken and needs to be replaced. Now where to find one is another thing. I will do some research and see what I can find. Billy may have a source. The top is okay except for the wood repairs. I have seen empty cases for sale on Ebay. Let me seed what I can do. Glenn

The 500 is a slant-o-matic so needs a slant-o-matic monogramer or buttonholer or any other foot

Thanks a bunch Glenn. I was thinking if all else fails, I can have latch type closures put on it.

miriam, thank you so much for the quick info. I was going to bid on the machine because I thought it had the monogramer built in. So now I will just look for the attachment. I have a 301 and and 403 which I could use it on. Again thanks for the quick response.

you have good taste - I LOVE my 403 and the monogrammer should work on it. I had trouble with it and found out it needs a different throat plate - you need the kind that is a T shape - it come with older buttonholers - I haven't had time to get back with it - the one that came with the 'professional buttonholer' doesn't work as well as the old T shape throat plate cover

Your "Anne" is lovely. Glad to see you back..I was used to reading your posts when I was a total new person. Nice to hear from you now!

That should work with your machine Rose... My 99 is nearly like it, but has a knee lever so the foot pedal part wouldn't work with mine...
If you buy it and it doesn't work, let me know!! ;)

OMGosh... my hubby is my enabler and I can live with this. Really. :-)
We just got home from the local Goodwill shop with a bunch of toys for DGS and a new toy for me...
A Domestic-
Model# 264R Serial#6246
and is in absolutely pristine condition, even the cords look new on this thing. It has 'J-C9', 'J-A23', 'E 5' all stamped into the underneath. And 'W Z6' on the side underneath. I have no ideal what any of these mean other than it was made in Japan, as it says that right on the back plate. LoL!

It is 2-tone, grey with white and came with a baggie full of bobbins. Only has the one foot and I think it is just the straight stitch foot but looks like some of my old White feet may fit. The bobbin is fully intact as well. I haven't tried anything yet, still trying to find some info on it.

I tell ya what though, this dadgum thing is HEAVY!!! I bout fell over when I reached down to pick it up, I was not expecting that much weight in this box. I will try to get some pics up here in a bit.

Thanks Jane (and everyone!) :)

She is pretty, we miss you around the shop.
