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!

I was given a Pfaff 30. It looks pretty rough. There is no cabinet or case, just the sewing machine. The cord is original and has been repaired by duct tape. I'm afraid to plug it in to see if it works. The person who gave it to me told me his aunt sewed on it up until she died two years ago.
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.

miriam I broke out again a couple days ago. It's been about 6 weeks of misery and I have had a heavy load for work lately...[/quote]
Miriam, you really need to go to the doctor's and get a shot to get yourself over that nasty stuff. Are there allergy shots for poison ivy? When hubby would get poison oak he would pour bleach on it. The bleach dried it up. Kathie

I have been scrubbing with Zanfel and it seems to be doing better than the last time - it's just frustrating.

Now, as far as I am concerned... sometimes I feel antique just rolling out of bed in the middle of the night! :lol: :lol: :lol:
