    I once had that cabinet and I still have the near perfect condition Red Eye 66 back clamp machine that came in it. When we moved from MN to NV I hate to say that I dumped the cabinet; all of it is gone except I saved the top left drawer with the attachments in there. It had been stored in a WI cabin and the bottom wood trim had fallen off. The back "doors" that open for ventilation were hanging on their hinges due to issues from moisture to the wood. Visible mildew was on much of the wood and the drawers came with mice chews and their nests. Hmmm......something has to go because it all can't fit in the truck .... I managed to bring 6 treadle cabinets and their machines to NV. I now regret I didn't find room for this cabinet - it would have been a huge restoration effort though.
