I've been trying to decide whether to go to see an Eldredge "B". It has the treadle assembly and cabinet, but the lady says that she "refinished" the cabinet. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad, but in the pictures it looks awfully shiny, so it's probably very bad. Pictures show a machine that needs a lot of cosmetic cleanup, and it may be missing a few pieces. There are some decals, but mostly worn off. The price is $55, and she won't take less, because she paid $50 for it. Is this model worth the hassle? I don't know how many are around. The treadle is really neat, maybe just because it doesn't say Singer on it. ;-) Any opinions? It is nearby.
