Not vintage but grrrrr.... This is the kind of thing that makes me so mad!! Someone wants to upgrade their machine, so they list it on Craigslist for $700.... Quick Google search shows the same machine is less than $600 online!! So I wonder, who wants to spend $100 more for a used machine? Did they get ripped off when they bought it, and they honestly think $700 is a good deal? Did they do ANY research?! Looks like HSN had the machine for $999, so I bet they bought it there! But they should have gone to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/SINGER-XL-400-.../dp/B004YEZLVG

I think the missing slide plate may be in the attachments box. Hard to make it out but sure look like it.

No, no more room for cabinets, LOL. It would be a nice addition to anyone's collection and a really good price.

I wanted to cry when I saw this one in portland, By the time the drive there was over , my out put would have been over 120 , had I stop at Mickey D's $200. I eat the $ buggers , but those milkshakes get my money

Just looking at the thing, it is hard to believe that they ever used it once purchased.

1969 was the year I started in with treadles, at that time whites looked just like that one, The two I got last winter were just the same,, in fact many of my singers acame home looking as bad or very close to that one, for 25 $ you'll never beat the price,,,, If you really know a white rotary you would be buying it ...

Then this one, ok we get the picture,, This super machine can do it all. could be must me, why do I see holes , but there's no thread in those holes,, why is the machines needle sitting ti the side AND there isn't any holes... did it burn up the motor sewing the canvas ?

Must be 4.20 in portland,,,
