Beautiful! Awesome haul! I found four machines this weekend but didn't buy any of them. (not including the featherweight I bought Friday) I hesitated on the 3 cabinets due to price and condition. They were in a building that had no air conditioning and I'm not sure how long it sat there for. There was an old singer. I presume a 66 but she and her cabinet were in bad shape for 175. There was a white rotary and a vibrating shuttle but I don't recall the name. The vibrating shuttle was in beautiful condition. The drawers had the parts in there. But again I was worried about how they were being stored and they were asking 350 for that one. Everything was 50% off bot I just couldn't get over the worry and lack of knowledge I had about them. he's going out of buisness. So I hope I didn't pass on something I should have gotten. But it also wasn't love. Close though as the decals were in stunning shape. The cough machine was a crinkle clone I think. It's case was falling apart. And again without the knowledge of what parts it should have I left it behind in favor of two vintage kokeshi. I didn't really have any money for another machine at the moment nor technically the room. I told myself to be more picky abut future machine purchases. I want at least a straight stitch treadle like a singer 66. Maybe an electric clone.
