Well, I went to look at the machine yesterday.... it was it the worst looking cabinet.. not original I am sure. water damage, split veneer, etc. It had been stored in a garage, so looked pretty bad.... I thought it was a portable. So now my question is .... can it be used without a base if I would take out of case. She was asking 100-200 dollars. Which is a little high according to my research. The cabinet would be of no value, so I declined for now. She said she would love for me to have it, so she will let me know if she gets any interest in it or before she would sell it. Thanks everyone for all your info... I really appreciate it.
