Can a Singer 503A in cabinet be removed to sew as a portable?
Have a chance to buy a Singer 503A but it's in a cabinet a long way away. Would rather not transport the cabinet.
the machine currently sews with a knee pedal. My question, can the machine be removed from the cabinet and just set atop a table to be used? If so, how does the knee pedal operation convert to a foot pedal operation?
I guess a fundamental question, were the machines sold as 2 different types -- cabinet and stand alone (or whatever the correct term is?)
Thanks for any help, I am fairly new to the vintage world although I do have a Featherweight.
