Oh you did very well on this find and keep everything together (cabinet and machine) like your talking about and you will have a very desirable piece.

the machine is 12" wide and 6.5" front to back. it's 8" to the top of the head.
is that 3/4? the cabinet is mahagony, and needs some work on the varnish where it's crazing, but isn't split or warped. the table legs still have the original brass tapered ends.
the drawer still opens easily, and the metal bracket still has the original pad for supporting the table leaf.

if i refinish the wood, does that diminish the value?
