That's why I just passed one up a mth ago for same price. I gave it the lift test...it failed...If I can't move on own I just can't deal with heavy furniture anymore.

this one is smaller then the ones we have looked at in the past.. dh carried it all by himself.. i am going thru some pain issues so i haven't attempted to lift or even check it out for that matter.. i will wait until it's all pretty and ready to sew on..

Looks like a model 27 - just what I am looking for. That is the machine I learned to sew on. Even the cabinet looks like my mom's except for the drawer fronts.

Congratulations!!!!

Beautiful machine & cabinet! Congratulations on your new machine. I've got a machine that's identical to it, just haven't sewn on it yet.
