A local resale shop has a Singer 56 cabinet for sale - it has been marked $35 in the past, and has been there 3 years. It is in decent shape, perhaps dry, some smallish water splotches on the top (2 or 3 about 4" across), and has the knee lever, but no stool. I probably would not refinish it.

I would like it for my 301, which came without a cabinet but did have the cradle.
(I have the Singer cardtable but find there isn't enough table to the left of the machine to support even lap quilts as they grow.)
Is $35 reasonable or would you counter offer?
And, a question, as this cabinet does not have the swing out arm support, is sagging of the open lid an issue over time? I see the routered edge of the lid nests onto the routered edge of the cabinet top, but it doesn't look like much support to me.
Thanks!
