What machine would this table fit?
I have seen these before and I am thinking Singer? Anyone know which model? Good price and collapsable.

I use a similar one for many of my machines. It fits many free arm machines like the 6000 series Vikings, Elna 62C, vintage Berninas and a few more. It won't fit any flat bed machine for obvious reasons. Mine was made specifically for the Viking, but other machines do fit. Usually there's a model # on the bottom of the table. I've not had any luck fitting my vintage Pfaffs in it.

I had one for my Viking 990, and pretty much wore it out. Over time the slant metal for the front legs started getting bent out of shape, and the table had a noticable lean towards the front. The plastic laminate edge started giving way, and the laminate surface took a beating and started to peal.
I was very happy with it overall, but if you get a used one, set it up, make sure all the legs are fully folded out, and then look to see if it is setting level or not.
Mine also had adjustable plastic "legs" for the fip up part, so I could adjust the height of the flip up part to fit my machine.
I had two, and only one fit the Viking. the other had a opening that was a bit shorter and wider, so they do come in more than one style. The one I had for my serge was totally different. I bought the second one as the hardware was in very good shape and I figured I could cut a new top to fit my machine. But then I ended up doing something totally different.

I have two - one purchased with my Elna 62C in 1973 - it is still very sturdy and has never been out of use. The second with a larger cutout was purchased in the early 90s with my Singer serger. It's okay, but not the same quality as the first one.

I got a similar one when I bought my Bernina 1260, it also fits my Bernina 910 and the Viking 6020. I love it, I also use it for my serger with the folding side down flat, and it folds and goes under the guest bed when I want it out of sight.

Did you notice that in the Craigslist ad, the seller's website is www.Randyifeelused.com. Randy I feel used.com. Don't know if that means anything, but I'd want someone with me before I met this guy!
