I got my Red Eye Singer treadle for $40, which was a good deal. I didn't know a thing about them then, and still don't know much! I'd see if I can find any info on the internet about that brand. The good thing about most of those old machines is that there are few parts to wear out. It will probably need a good cleaning, inside and out. Mine needed a new belt, which I found on eBay for just a few dollars. I looked at Billy's (Lostn51) tutorial on cleaning, and found a manual online to figure out how to take it apart and where to oil it. It sews like a dream now. I would PM Billy to get his input. I think I would offer them less than they're asking, depending on how much work it will take to clean, refinish, or repair.
