I wanted to say more than that.
So, way too much money. Here is an example of a better deal price wise. Although if you are extremely patient, you may find them posted for free.

I think I'm down to one major poison ivy ooze place!!! It's on my right arm - every time I move it oozes - just try and not move your elbow... My face is starting to look normal for me... The other places are looking somewhat better.

I would have a Singer 201 that could be treadled (it was like finding gold). I paid $30 with box of attachments for that beauty (its my favorite machine). I wait a bit for a cabinet, and then saw on CLs a free extremely sad cabinet with a treadle that looked ok. That cabinet had a Singer 9W1 in bad shape too. I basically picked up an extremely nice treadle that had been protected by a cabinet that was now badly damaged (the cabinet) with a machine that looked like it had been used as a parts machine. I took the cabinet off the treadle and waited for a free cabinet to show up on CLs. A couple of weeks later and a 45 mins drive in one direction, I had a cabinet top. I had to take the legs off this cabinet top since it was designed for an e-machine. I'm not into refurbishing like Glenn is, too much work. So, it was easier to find a top to switch.
So, for $30 I had a machine in treadle.
I say the machines have a way of finding us, just be patient.

Lee, very nice 99! Those 99s are great little work horses.

I don't know that I was ever bored in school.... I was just busy in some other world...
I know I was bored because I looked forward to playing dodgeball and on rainy days we would get to play it indoors in the classroom while sitting on our desks. That teacher was way cool!!

I haven't seen the machine in person, I'm hoping it is nice!!All the decals in good condition. Plus, I have to arrange for one of my son-in-laws to go with me to pick it up. I hope it all comes together, and is acceptable to the seller.

Hey, I started in 1982 also... it was actually illegal at the time but when the superindendent of schools met up with us he told us we were probably giving our kids a better education. That was an unexpected comment. I better get off my homeschool bandwagon. Haven't been up there for quite a while. :-D :-D Glad your oozing points are dwindling.
