Grayhare,
They just don't understand that we don't want plastic wonders, we want machines that will last for years.

I did receive a reply to a Singer 101 in a cabinet, the cabinet looks in pretty good shape, $25 The machine does not work. It is funny cause the seller asked me why do what this old machine you know you can get a new machine for about $50
The cabinet is a Singer 40a, I believe.

Should we give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she lost the information on removal of CL post or call her lazy.:) Yeah, it's no fun when they do things like that.

The Singer 101, Is that a potted motor machine? I know they have the smaller hand wheel.

Is the Singer 40 cabinet the Queen Anne cabinet? That cabinet for $25 is a steal if so.

Or is it the library table? Still nice but not as pretty as the Queen Anne.

Purplefiend, You're treadling a Pfaff, correct? How is that machine? The photo of that treadle looked very nice. - or I should say that the treadle looks like it would treadle smoothly.

I believe that it is the Queen Anne cabinet. I was interested in the cabinet, not the machine.
