Default Deal I couldn't turn down. 17 sewing machines!

I just couldn't turn in down, and needed to rescue these machines. I seen an add on kijiji where some was selling a "lot" of machine for a great price. The picture had 6 machines in it, one being a PFAFF which I always wanted to try, when I get there it was 17 machines! They all needed a little or a lot of love, but they are coming along nicely. Now, where to put them?

Nice score. Which Pfaff? A list and pictures would be nice to see.

I wish someone would come to my house and leave with 17 machines!

I'd love to, but I'll have to win the lottery first, so I could make the trip and to rent a u-haul.

I warn people that if they come here and leave their car unlocked, I may sneak a machine or two in on them.

I've re-homed a couple (duplicates) already.

I always find it interesting when I see a machine that's not seen a lot in my area (St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada - its an island in the north atlantic!)

The Imperial is one that I have never seen here, and the old gentleman who had it said he's been working on machines since the 1970's and its the only one he has ever came across. might be a keeper for me.
