I 'won' a long bed (?) mocha (?) with many attachments and a case for $91 with low shipping. The seller packed the machine well, but only put in a well fitted cardboard box. One corner of the box is banged and the suitcase is broken in that corner. It may have been before it was shipped, but I really don't care as I didn't want the case particularly. I am happy to have the attachments with a lot of original bobbins. Tonight is the time I am checking out the machine. She's older than AnnieRose, but the cords look good. They are tan while Annie's are black. Did you see the quilt AnnieRose made with some help from some friends - also vintage e machines? It's posted in the quilt thread.
