Bad news is that auction is on Sunday - Palm Sunday which is a Sunday service I will not miss despite the temptations only 20 mins from my house. So I wandered around and found 5 301s with attachments and looked to be in good shape. Went and talked to the folks running the auction. They gave me a bid card which I filled out with name and phone # and then listed the machines that I would bid on if I were to be there. OKay, there were more I would like but DH only puts up with so much tomfoolery from me with my sewing machine obsession. I then put down my maximum bid and will hope for the best. I did say I only wanted one and the auctioneer seemd reasonably confident that I would have the winning bid on one of them. I sure hope so. What he was worried about was that at the end, they be lots of 10 to 15 machines for maybe only $50 bucks for the lots. There were at least 4 FWs and two were white ones.

How many photos do I post on here or should I open up a new topic? Don't want to hog too much space.
