Default what's a few more anyway?

I've been trying to be good because I'm serioulsy overloaded in the house - I didn't want to get any more until the machine shed is complete and I can move them out there.

But DH talked me into going with him today, and we stopped at a couple of antique malls on the way.

Found a cabinet I've been looking for - no price so the lady called and came back with $55. SOLD!







I came with a machine, and I'm not super excited since I've already got two . . . but this one is in very nice shape. The marks on the bed are dust/lint, not wear.



The box of attachments is full too, including the spool pin attachment.

And at another we saw this one - it was DH's favorite color (cheap) so he wanted it. Paid $15 for this one. No cords, but we've got plenty that will work with it. It's clean and everything moves freely.

I love the cabinet but especially the stool! Wish I could find one like that someday. Now, you had better get to work on finishing up that shed before you cannot turn around in the house anymore!

Ok....is it you or your DH that is the collector? Or are you both just one another's enablers?

DH has about 20 or so machines. He loves them too, but isn't into the attachments like I am, he more likes good, usable machines.

I've got about 120 or so machines . . . .

He's also my OSMG and that helps a lot!

The lower sides of the chair have rails, and you can see the rails inside the walls of the cabinet. You lift up the chair and set it on the rails, and it slides in just like a drawer. I've seen others that have wheels on the chair and it just rolls in place.

I have a cabinet that's almost exactly like that with the same drawers in the pull-out bench. Neat! (Yours is in better shape, though.)

I've been looking for an Anker like that one since, well, since I began collecting. Great find!

Nice cabinet & machines! - I've been on the lookout for a cabinet like that but none have come up within my driving radius - the ones that I have seen usually have a Necchi in them.

Both are great finds! I like the combo table and chair cabinets too.
