Why don't one of you make the guy an offer! I'd go for it if I hadn't of gotten the Hitachi! I still might!

That's a nice machine!! I have my DH's mom's Adler in a cabinet from 1957...we had it adjusted, but it keeps doing weird things. So right now not using it. Might set it up again one of these days and go through it. It's a TON!! Solid iron.
Maybe it's haunted! Just kidding, but some of these old machines seem to have a mind of their own.
Yep....I really hope we can get it going well...it's really a sentimental issue with my DH...I'm sure he would love to sew on it since his mom used it for years. He's a big sentimental softie...maybe it'll be the push to get him working on vintage machines. :!: :idea: Yes....that's the ticket!!! :-)
