"Buy only what you love".
"Buy only what you find to be either beautiful or useful". Isn't that how the sayings go? It's easy to fit a treadle into anyone of these categories isn't it? lol! Best wishes with your decision.

Has a Redeye been on your want list? It's on mine, so I'd say buy. The parlor cabinet and machine alone are each worth more than that. If the Redeye isn't a favorite, then let it go to someone who really wants it. I recently passed on a Davis Two Spools at a good price. An excellent buy, but it wasn't a Redeye.

I would buy it just for the parlor cabinet. They aren't as easy to find. Then put your favorite machine in it and sell the redeye. The decals on the bed aren't that great, but the cabinet is very sweet!

I feel your pain. In fact, I have tears in my eyes. I would give anything to have your opportunity, and yes, my DH would throw a fit if I brought it home. It must be catching your heart strings for some reason. Can you put words to that reason? If you can, then you'll know whether or not you'll actually buy the Singer.
