A cabinet that sat out in the weather? I went saling last weekend and a guy showed me two treadles that had set out in the rain...one cabinet had completely delaminated and the other was solid but the varnish was bubbling. This cabinet had a crummy machine in it. The other delaminated one had a rotary in beautiful condition! I'm kicking myself for not buying both....could I have moved the better machine to the better cabinet??
Also found a New Idea treadle for $50 in a cabinet that has no back. In other words, you can see the drawer holes, a persons knees (whoever might be sitting at the machine), and lots of cobwebs. I want a treadle for a picture prop and really need a back on the cabinet!! And a cool machine would just be icing on it!!!
