I would buy it. It is beautiful and you know that you will regret it if you pass it by. Who knows when you will move and need to downsize and if you do you can always cover the top with a ironing or a cutting surface. If you have to get rid of it later you know some one will always be looking for one.

I would love to get a chance to get one! So many say pass, but such a beautiful machine!

If you really want it replace ii for some that you already have. Remember your downsizing!

Don't think about it too long...someone else will jump on that deal. Bake him a cake or let him stew. He will never get that old or look that good.....

In this case, it may not be so much the machine as that absolutely wonderful cabinet. I would buy it for the cabinet, if the price is OK. then sell the red eye & put in
one of your other machines. I still regret the perfect lotus decal treadle I did not buy because I thought I had too many
machines.

Yes, how much if its reasonable go for it. I think of things I passed on and keep kicking myself still. Do you have a friend who could give her a good home?

You are not alone in this! I really want a treadle in the worst way but DH feels that we have no room and also I don't need another machine due to the fact I have 9 already. What to do is right!!! Other factors involved in his feelings are no way to get it here, too much money, to heavy for him to lift, etc....
