The #2 picture shows the pile of compacted lint I found under the feed dogs and in the bobbin area. I'm glad it was stored inside someone's house, no rust; it just needed to be oiled. The wiring is in very good condition too.

I bought this cabinet and machine today, for $75. However the whole thing reeks of stale cigarettes. YUCK!
