Beautiful machine and cabinet. Does it work and, if so, do you use it?
My Aunt told me the machine works, as a matter of fact I think I still have the tag saying when it was serviced. I don't have it hooked up, I have always wanted a cabinet like this so when I spied one on Craigslist for 20 bucks including the original sewing machine (circa 1930's) I grabbed it. I still have that machine to though it's not working, pieces are missing. But it came with a treasure trove of old parts like a ruffler, a bias tape thingy. I put the old machine head up on the shelf that runs the length of our hall and living room.
