No way I'd even go $125 at $75 I'd still hum n haw
reason is someone did a hack refinish to make a sale.. I can see where they sloped finish on the hinges, so it was not taken apart to refinish, you have to guess there is loose veneer, it had shroll work on the drawer faces, I can see the impressions of those, again guessing it WAS a two or three drawer ( each side ) , they did a short cut and just cut off those drawers....
It looks like they started cleaning the head and found the gold coming off, then quite, it was very very dirty and still is... front plate is missing. looks like the shuttle is there maybe one bobbin...
Bottom line, they want top price, it has NOT been restored, for 300 you can buy a fully restore machine, cabinet and base. face it at 300 it should be a take home N sew, not take home N finish the job before you sew
I know it looks good to the eye ( age ol antigue shop pee trick)
ask your self, why doesn't it have a belt in place ??? @ $300
