It seems I did get 4 photos uploaded, but I don't see them, just the number of the pictures. Guess I did something wrong -Dear me - it is so hard for this old brain to get used to change!!!

Well, we see them!! That cabinet needs a little work, but the machine looks like it just needs cleaning. Good find.

Did I understand correctly - that Billy's other blog spot is not available? The one where we can keep up with his health issues.

The cabinet needs a LOT of work - maybe even replacing. I do like the feature of the 'chair'slipping right into the front of the sewing machine cabinet. The sewing machine need a lot of cleaning up, but she purrs along so quietly!! I love the sound of her. Right now she is in our freezing cold garage - hope to get her into the warm house when our sons get here.

From the little I've been able to find on the Internet about it -- I'm thinking he did good. But it seems there are 3 different kinds of Model BU and I'd like to get it ID'd accurately so I can look for the right manual. Can anyone give me a link to get it ID'd, please?
Derla - Here's a 99 on auction at $35 + shipping right now, ending in 3 hours. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8831499 It has a solid hand wheel, but you can get a spoke wheel and change it out and put a handcrank on it. Plus this machine has it's knee controller, which are very hard to find, and you can sell it on eBay for about $25. It also has a decent domed wood case.
