The people you're spending your life with are more important than the stuff. But if you pass, or make a deal to get rid of another, don't do it resentfully! That's just as harmful for your relationship as if you went ahead and bought it. There, now you have my two cents. ;-)

If you really want it and your husband is on board with you getting it then get it - for the cabinet. I'd leave the machine at the first thrift store I found. The bed decals are shot, it is a horizontal bobbin, a tricked out Singer 66.
The cabinet is a beauty. You couldn't give me a Singer 66 machine. Not my cup of tea at all.

I have the same machine and cabinet I picked up for $100 a couple months ago. I have yet to get it cleaned up due to the hot weather and no place but outside to work on it. I'd grab another if it was in this cabinet!
