Nope not mine but from what I understand these are pretty desirable. 25 is a great price.
See if he has the shuttles laying around too.

RUN!!! - Don't walk there and BUY IT!!!!
Even though it's in sad shape and you may not be able to sew with it - it's a priceless antique that will look great on a shelf in your quilting room (and a bargain at $25.00.)
If you want to try and get the missing parts for it, EBay is a great place for finding old Singer parts and there are also a lot of other online Singer parts sites that carry hard to find pieces.
Either way, good luck and hope you but it. :P :P :P :P :P :P

I offered him $15 and he said the lowest he could go would be $20. I'm planning to go look at it (and more than likely buy it) either tonight or tomorrow. I probably won't ever transform her into a working machine again, but I'll do my best trying and, at least, make her as pretty as possible. I wonder how much the old lady weighs! I"ll post photos soon.[/quote]
