What a nice machine you're getting.
I love those old drawers, they were very well made. When you look at new furniture's drawers the difference is amazing. A lot of it is pressed sawdust and glued together.

A carpenter friend told us many years ago that we should buy used furniture and refinish it because it will outlast us. The stuff stores were selling in the 70s was so bad it would look crappy before we even got it paid for. So we either got old family or used furniture or built it ourselves. Still have a lot of it the kids didn't want or have room for.
