Default New Home at Thrift Store
I thought you might get a kick out of this one. Last week they had it priced at $200. This week it's only $175.

Clamped to some kind of table? No motor, no treadle belt (nor holes to run it through), and no hand crank...how would one make it sew?? And only $175.

Crazy price for a sorely neglected machine! I wouldn't take it if it was free.
