This machine turned out to be my favorite. My hub and I were looking at some building in a very small town near us. He was scouting for office space and the Realtor took us into this old time building..the upstairs had been a boarding house in the old days. It gave me the creeps walking around up there. Holes everywhere and the plaster walls and ceilings crumbling. But in its defense it has good bones and I hope someone comes along and saves it. BUT..on our way out I happened to look over and noticed a sewing cabinet. Nosy that I am..I raised the lid. I gasped.....after some time trying to find the person that owned the building my hub bought the machine and brought it home. I oiled it and cleaned it and we sew merrily along. =)

"Rodney" struck me as a particularly unusual brand for a clone, so I thought I'd post this. I'm not interested in buying another machine right now, and certainly not a non-working one in this price range, so it's here just for amusement, and since it's a Craigslist item, it may be gone by the time you see this: http://houston.craigslist.org/hsh/4179878251.html. If you missed it, it's a basic black similar to many others, but instead of "Mercury" or "Wizard" or some such it says "Rodney". Don't you wonder how these ideas get started?! I can just hear some prim 1950's woman telling her family she's off to play with Rodney, maybe while her husband is out at a bar called "The Library".
