$1,000! Mine is in almost the same condition and cost $48.50 with a new belt! I don't think those plastic casters were new when the machine was, and the pin rash doesn't exactly look factory.

Here is another for the admirers of old machines. Looks to be a 9w in good condition, and from what I can tell, the price is pretty good, as long as the machine works. Certainly not one seen every day.

Thanks for the picture with the flash, so I can see just how filthy it really is.

"Dressmaster" according to the ad. Why is the motor on the front?

Thanks, I just fixed it. BTW I am from western NY. I grew up in Jamestown.

Usually, they just show the back of the machine, but this guy took it a step further and reversed the image. Brilliant!

I agree! The first thing I thought when I saw the picture was "Poor Baby, you haven't been treated very well"!
