Default I did it again..

Today i wandered into Habitat Restore. I've been looking for a cabinet to drop one of my current machines into. They had 2 cabinets with machines. Both were singers. The first cabinet was laminate with no drawers, but it did have the fold down top so the workspace is big. The machine was filthy. Thats ok cuz i'm only interested in the cabinet. The second cabinet was solid wood with two drawers but the workspace is smaller. The cabinet is "The Summit, a sleek, contemporary". (Contemporary to 1970). But, i examined the machine, its a singer model 728 from 1970. Its not very dirty and things move. That settled it for me, thats the cabinet and machine i bought. $40... Now i'm thinking i can clean the machine up and keep it in the cabinet. Ummm...that makes 5 machines and i only have two hands, not ten! I just can't seem to pass up these deals. I bought a 1975 Kenmore at the Restore a few months ago for $35 and its my favorite machine.
