My question is: Is it worth getting fixed or should I just sell it as is? I probably do not want to spend more than $250 since I just bought a new machine. Nancy |

Another CA folks on this board planning to show at the GCTOGA ? I went to the MINI TOGA in June and had a blast! There were some gorgeous machines that were shown along with quilting projects. Monica, I am hoping to be able to go, and Quiltncowgirl had said she would like to go, too. I am hoping to get my DH interested enough in the vintage/antique machines so that he will start learning to work on them....this could be our retirement business!! But I am sure he won't come to this TOGA...maybe next Spring. Monica, myself, Kathie, Janice, and Sheryl! This is going to be fun!~ Nancy |

Why don't one of you make the guy an offer! I'd go for it if I hadn't of gotten the Hitachi! I still might! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/2538070755.html Nancy The Adler you have is electric isn't it, has to be if it is a 1957 machine. This Adler is older and a treadle, which is why I am watching it on Craigslist! Candace are you going to get the Adler? Nancy |
