I bought a White Rotary online for just $10 and $20 shipping. the seller didn't know how to pack one. he didn't strap the machine to the base and he shoved the attachments box and the power cords and foot pedal onto the bed and set the bent wood case onto it. it jostled loose from the base in the shipping and was stuck inside the case. I had to break the end of the case to get the machine out. there was a foam packing peanut in between the base and machine. he also had overexposed photos in the ad and it didn't look as bad in photos as it did in person. it's my project machine. most of the original japanning was worn off and it has a bad case of pin rash. so, here's what I got in the mail. ugh. I bought a beautiful Jones online and had it shipped by someone who knew how to pack a machine and she's a beauty. but here's my White. I am going to get her painted and I have replacement decals to put on, then clear coat her. I named her Patti after my grandma who passed away 2 weeks ago. this White is from 1928 and grammy was born in 1930. she would have liked it.
