    She has come down to $50 on it. I will ask if it has any pieces that go with it and about the throat plate. Thanks. I knew I could count on you all.

    You never know, they might be in one of the drawers.

    I agree with Joe. That oak cabinet is worth what she is asking but offer her $50.00 You can always up your bid but it's pretty tough to lower it.

    She is sweet! I'm liking her, but then again, I like the oldies. (My dh keeps saying 'good thing' whenever I say this :-)

    she looks pretty good. If you get her for $50, say "Thank you very much" and get out of town.

    Let us know how you made out. I think she's cute. Chances are the slide plate is in the drawer. Some of them are tricky.

    best,
    d

    The cabinet and the machine both look good. You would be fine paying $50 for it. Hope the other parts are in the drawers, but if not, they are not that hard to find. Let us know how this turns out!!

    I agree with Joe (J Miller). the front plates are findable, as are shuttles and bobbins for it. The cabinet is not in bad shape from what I've seen, and how mine look in the beginning. $50 is a good starting place, bargain from there if she will. It looks to be nice. Sewing machine oil does wonders for getting machines to run again. They must just need a good drink!!

    Ditto! Sewing machines come up at the auction I go to , and you can get them for $25.
