After a lot of e-mails back and forth, I will be going to see it this morning. It is about an hour away from here and there is a nice thrift shop on the way. Hmmmm, if we go down one way, we can stop at the thrift shop, and if we come back the long way, we can hit a few antique shops, and maybe a Goodwill or 2. Think we can make a day of it.[/quote]

sounds like a great day. Look forward to hearing the results. Post pictures please. :-D

Well, it was a good plan. Got down to look at the machine, it wasn't that good. Definitely not worth the asking price. Got lady to come down some, but, not far enough. Stopped a few places, but, nothing good out there. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Billy is this a re-done machine? It is beautiful, but is it for real or a re-do?

Nancy
They are Sphinx decal and it is original. rjones is a reliable seller.

I love your model 12 and the fact that it is a MOP makes it that much better even if it is missing the decals!!

I will look and see what needles it uses for you and Charlee knows the shuttle and bobbins it uses.

That is a bit pricey compared to the one I bought that has the majority of the decals and treadle. But I traded a Mint Green FW and $400 to get it over here from France.
