thanks! I just love the look of 15s I had to make myself walk away from them the couple of times I've seen them at that shop! I seem to just gravitate towards them.
the fleetwood was 'as is' I couldnt' tell anything was wrong - she checks them to make sure the turn on and stuff moves but other than that they're either sold 'as is' or you pay more and have it serviced. if I'd had more time we probably could have played with it a bit but the price suited me and I figure if I have a problem I can always ask or take it in and get help with it but it looked pretty clean and the cords looked ok.
I'm drooling over all the color machines and the stuff from the 50s with the cool dials. the singer is sitting on another faker drawer cabinet(why the heck didn't they just make a small pull open drawer for crying out loud?!) with a singer 301 in it - it's one my mom found at a bargain at one of their many estate sales (aka garage sales down here) it's black with a tan bed which makes me think somewhere is the bed to a longbed - one of my dream machines) though this same shop has the 2 tone 301s ...2 of them that haven't been spruced up yet. there may be a future trip planned...
