    Beautiful machine and cabinet. You are very fortunate. Love it. I love the old Vikings and you will, too.

    What a sad story for this gentleman ,but how nice that he gave it to you, looks like a beauty. The cabinet is a treasure in it's self.
    by the way is that bottle on the floor a lost medication?(: thanks for sharing.

    That machine looks like my Viking I have. One of my kids lost one of the cams. Mine is in a cabinet very much like that one except I have drawers on both sides. It is also a double leaf extension table and free arm.

    I have this same machine, oh what a work horse it is. Compared to the machines of today, this machine is built like a mack truck. I have had mine, bought used, for 30 years, it is in a suitcase not a beautiful cabinet like yours though. You will truly love sewing on it. What a lovely thing for this gentleman to do to gift it to you. Congratulations!

    I want an older Elna so badly. I can't believe you parted with your mom's. I found a green one but the store where it is doesn't have a price tag for it and the gal hasn't gotten around to pricing it yet. I'm going nuts waiting on her. I'm afraid someone will swoop in and buy it out from under me. Oh well, there are always others. That was nice of you to let yours go to a loving home.
