When i asked the man how much they where i did a double take, and asked again.... My DH picked both of them up, they both work..only minor things need to be replaced, both came with the feet and the Free Westinghouse also came with the instruction book. My mother in law is getting the Singer ( i haven't seen her this happy in a long time) and i am keeping the Free Westinghouse. We are both in shock that we only paid $20 bucks for BOTH of them.
My DH then proceed to go to a sewing machine repair guy and is getting a Singer commercial machine with an 11 inch throat space completely retrofitting it to be used as my quilting machine on the frame. I swear that my DH surprised the heck out of me. I am so very lucky to have him :D

The Free Westinghouse looks so similar to the one my mother had that I learned to sew on, except hers was black. Even the cabinet looks familiar. I remember coming home from school and her door would be closed with the machine running and she would say, "Don't come in here." We knew she was making something for us for Christmas. Enjoy!
