Thanks everyone, I love the cabinet too.
Charlee, I did use the 130 after Mom first left me. I had it set up in a Koala cabinet in my sewing room, but when I started collecting the treadles and vintage machines, I had to put that Koala cabinet in storage. The cabinet was just too big! Anyway, that Pfaff 130 weighs about 2 tons so no I didn't use her much since I didn't want to drag her around! Now, I will use her, but I am so hooked on my treadles now - the 319w in treadle, my Two Spools for piecing, and my 15-88 - these are my favorite to use treadles - I won't use the Pfaff 130 that much. Probably for quick mending projects, etc.! I use my Rocketeer all the time for machine applique' and my FW's go to classes. The 130 deserves a semi-retirement anyway. Mom used that machine almost daily for 50 years! At least now Mom's machine is out where I 'can' use her if I want to, and keep her lubed up!
