I saw this listed in ME. Craigslist w/ picture. Says it's free but needs $35 motor. In original cabinet - it looks beautiful but I'm not into old machines ... yet!

The cabinet is worth the $35.00 alone. I did think about it as I saw it was in Portland. Further investigation found that it is located in Portland, Maine, not Portland, OR. Have to pass, again! Thanks for the link though.

It would seem to me that NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME to get an older machine! LOL

It's gorgeous!!! I would get it in a heartbeat if I was any where close to it. LOL

If I were you I would get it just for the cabinet.

I wouldn't hesitate and would buy that in a heartbeat! What an awesome opportunity!

I'd love it but on otherwise of country! Hope someonegets it!

I really don't have space but you made a lightbulb go on in my head ... I could use this cabinet instead of the little one I have now.

you talked me into it - emailed seller ~ will see if it's still available. Fingers crossed but hubby's aren't. lol

That looks like a beauty.

OMG go get that baby, if you don't you'll be sorry one day

That's a beauty!!! Oh, please get it!! :D:D

It looks just like my treadle and yes the cabinet is worth every penny they are asking.

OOOOOOO!! Oh....wrong coast!! :-(

too far south, but its a beauty.

Good luck mommamac, if I were closer...I would grab it for sure. That cabinet is beautiful!! Unfortunately, hubby is out of work for health reasons; so can't spend all the money on gas to travel that far. 1 1/2 hrs. each way for me.

just got a reply from owner - I'm second in line if first person doesn't come through.

Holy moly!! All that needs doing is to make it back into a treadle again.. don't need a motor!! Wish I lived near.

Tell us....tell us....did you get it?

They say FREE - only an estimate of $35 to repair the machine - GO GET IT!!

keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed for you!!

Crossing mine too!

I would grab it in a heartbeat. I am just too far away. Hope you get it.

Me too love my
Old Lady's

If it were in my neighborhood I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Hoping you get it!!

Jump on it!!!~!

Our Singer store here in Austin had the exact same machine treadle version in a cabinet just as show. That decal design is called "The Red Eye". I wouldn't mess with a motor either; treadles are so classic.

OMGosh! The suspence is killing me, did you get it? I sure hope you did. Let us know. :mrgreen:

Hopefully the first person will get lost trying to find it. LOL!! :lol: :lol: I hope you end up with it. I love the cabinet!

I almost got excited, until I realized this machine was in Maine. I actually have a spare motor.

A new belt for the treadle run about $8 so you wouldn't even have to spend $35 to get it running. I hope you get it but have to be fast for those FREE offers.

That cabinet is beautiful!!! So is the machine, working or not. I'm far from Maine, however. Thanks for sharing.

I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear.

Dang... I'm in Pennsylvania... if I lived closer, I would get it in a heartbeat.

Is there any word yet from the person giving away the Singer? I wish you luck. I would love to have it myself.

I like it, but the shipping....:-( I'm on the west coast.

very pretty machine.

If I lived close enough, it would have been in my living room within 15 minutes. froggyintexas

You can treadle it, afterall that's what it was originally. :-D

This machine would be a good candidate to attach a handcrank--no electricity needed...it is so much fun to use and it is great for teaching young children to sew.
