Can you post a pic, or find a picture on line of something similar?
I am going to try to find one that looks like it. I might have to go back and get a Pic or I might just buy Her and worry about parts later, lol....I could always use the cabinet I guess. I think the Machine is pretty enough to give Her a try. LOL....I will post pic's is I get Her. I could not believe the condition the machine was in, great condition..Joy
