Need help to know what to do with machine parts
 
My parents go to auctions and estate sales. Since they are retired they tend to buy what ever interests them. One such buy was a large stack of boxes that had old western books, parts to rebuild crank shafts in motor, etc. One box contained a Viking ruby deluxe embroidery base with hoops and extras. Since I own a Nustyle long arm machine they gave me the box. I have no idea what to do with it, suggestions anyone?

List it on the sewitsforsale group on groups.yahoo.com. Check eBay "completed listings" to see if you can find a ballpark asking price.

If you are a member of facebook, there are vintage sewing machine groups that would love your inventory.

Thank you. I will go and see if I can get a ballpark figure for them

Thank you. I do belong to Facebook but was not aware of such group.

this is not a vintage machine, check with you local viking dealer, some of them will sell used items or have customers wanting something like this.
