THe one I bought was in a case not a cabinet-but it definately NOT a lightweight portable. I doubt I could have got it home by myself if it was in a cabinet.

I'd probably try to save it if it's a Singer Queen Anne cabinet with all the parts. Not too hard to find a Singer machine for a cabinet like that and, as someone else mentioned, it can always go back on the curb in a year if it doesn't work out for you. (All this said by someone who has never successfully finished any kind of refinishing job on furniture!)
Regarding the World Rotary machine in cabinet, I would add that if it's a working treadle it is well worth $5! My bet is that it is not a treadle, though. |
I have a White Family Rotory treadle sewing machine
and I really love it. |

Hello I have a White 619. Have you found any info or date when these might have been manufactured?
thanks, |
I was very disappointed to learn that my new machine (not Singer) would not fit my old Singer cabinet. I was told that other machines rarely fit cabinets they weren't designed to fit. At least some other Singers would fit my Singer cabinet.
So, I wouldn't buy a cabinet without either knowing that my machine would fit it or I had good woodworking skills to make it fit. |
