I had emailed this guy a while ago, but just couldn't afford it. I only had $25 to spare. He just emailed me, saying he'd had no other interest, and if I could do thirty, it was mine!

wooHOO!!! =))

hoping to get it tonight! I'll keep you 'posted'!

I don't see cams in the photo. They might be in the unopened box, but if they aren't, you should ask for them when you pick up. I can't find your model in Sears Parts Direct but a belt should cost no more than $6.

That looks like a really cool Vintage beast!

It is funny that looking at it from the top made me realize how much "thicker" new machines are compared to the old ones. That looks at least twice as wide as my old Singer 12 and the like....

Technology today is all about each version being smaller than the last, but this tech went the other direction...

the husband is SO not happy. He was okaywith it, until I had to answer honestly: "does this one at least work?" It isn't practical for our budget, but it isn't impossible. I haven't been able to meet the seller yet, hopefully dh is getting used to the idea. Or, he can be the new bookeeper. Wish me luck! ;0)
