I did get it, and no I don’t have pictures yet.
I need to give it a thorough cleaning, lots of lint &fuzz in the bobbin area and I assume in the feed dogs too, and it definitelyneeds to be oiled.The wood on the cabinet is in pretty goodshape, again a little cleaning and furniture polish will spruce it upnicely.The decals are in amazing conditionconsidering the age of the machine (almost 100 years old).Most of the decal wear is actually the Singername across the top of the machine (probably from lifting it out of the cabinetand back in).

The missing iron work parts (foot petal, fly wheel andguard, and the bar that connects the petal & wheel) are the down side. But since this machine is electric, that isonly cosmetic, and doesn’t affect the functioning of the machine, just the $value.So I’m not displeased, especiallysince it did help with the price negotiations!
I did do a little research, and if I wanted to replace the missingiron work, I found complete sets for $100 and under, and individual parts forquite a bit less. Not something I’ll doanytime soon though, but it’s nice to know I have that option.
Thank you all for your insights and advice. It served me well.
