Once you get this machine up and running you will fall in love with treadling. Your cabinet does not look bad -- I have seen and bought much worse! The machine looks to be in good shape -- anyway, these old treadles are tough -- I'd be willing to bet it will sew perfect. Good luck on your new adventure!
