I posted pics in the Main area but someone suggested I post in the Vintage Machine thread.. so here goes...

I called the second hand store and it IS still there.
It's in Huntsville, AL
The wood is in bad shape. If you ask me it looks like it was either abused, overused or in a flood lol. The head looks like it has seen better days. The rest of it - the foot pedal part looked nice.

Here's some pics if anyone is actually interested in her. Poor old gal. just sitting there unloved because she is ugly lol.

I took pictures of her birthday code but they didn't come out :(
If you are interested in trying to figure out her birthdate from my poor picture, I'll post it but it's pretty rough. Looks like it's 7 numbers starting with a 67... somethingsomethingsomething...
Well if its any consolation I have seen worse and have fixed worse!! If the serial is starting out like that then it is a pre 1900 model 27. You should go get it for the heck of it and play with that one and get it back running again.
