    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.
