I don't think they have any idea that its not just a piece of furniture, not a clue that we'd like to see the machine from the front...not the back. I can't tell you how many pictures I've seen of old machines that have the cabinet hinges on the machines because the seller has no idea that they actually come off the machine. The last cabinet I bought had a featherweight case on top of it in the auction picture, so naturally I assumed that the featherweight was for sale at only $100. They did a switch when I got there and it was a really beat up Singer 99k that was for sale. The cabinet was empty and separate. Oh well I really wanted another treadle cabinet for my Singer 237 treadle machine.
