Yes, I know about how well the sew. This makes my 9th antique Singer. 4 Featherweights, 2-301's, 99K, 185 J, and now this 503. I have got to STOP this, I have no idea where this one is going to be set up...
LOL Start buying them without the cabinet. But I hear you. I have sewing cabinet row (4 machines) in my living room of all places. One is a treadle Red Eye 66, a Singer 301 and a Singer 15-91. The other one is a pink zig zag style machine with lots of cute cams from the 1950s. That one will go to my soon to be DIL. Still there are atleast 5 more vintage machines in my studio up stairs with no cabinet. I am starting to put some to use though, the 301 and Feather Weight and plan to use an old style Bernina 830. Oh the 500 is still in the garge and who knows what else.
