saw one at the flea market last week that I would have purchased if reasonable or if it was all original
was a 27 but had been motorized with an off brand motor and decals were OK but not great in a treadle cabinet for a New Home not a singer and all the treadle hardware was missing!
and the cabinet had been painted black!
the guy tried to tell me it was worth $500- he had researched it!! but he would sell for $100
I offered him $40 no deal!
well a few hours later he was loading it back on his truck!
I have been watching that machine on craiglist. I think its sad that machine is in such bad shape and the cabinet might not even be fixable.
I would take it off his hands but there is no way I would pay for it.
I have thought about messaging him to let him know what he really has but he might just think I am trying to get it for nothing but I dont want that one so I dont know. I guess when it doesn't sell that is sort of letting him know that it is not worth what he thinks
