Very nice, my hubs has been surfing ebay and keeping watch for me, at first I didn't know he was doing it but he finally told me. I took my machine in for its yearly checkup and it took longer than they told me because they were busy. It drove me nuts and he started looking then.

Wow. I wish I could find one. My grandmother left me the machine and after years of using it and then buying a new Singer I gave it to my sister to re-do. She re-did it alright...threw away the machine and kept the cabinet! I was heart broken when I got it back. I re-did the cabinet, cleaned it up and its just waiting for another machine to go in it! :) I LOVED that machine! You are lucky to have found such a pretty one!

who'd a thunk, well, I will see about getting some pics posted, if I can figure out how to do it. It would be awfully expensive to ship, but I guess it's worth a shot. I think some of the belts are worn and probably would have to be replaced, guess that is expected on a machine that is vintage, assuming you can still get parts for them. Thanks for the reply.
