She looks like the perfect candidate for one of Billy's repaint jobs. You could do her in that beautiful blue/purple that he has shown before or pink or ?????. You might see if you can get them down on price and then send her to Billy for her much deserved makeover.

It looks like the metal is disintergrating. I'd pass on this one and save what you'd put into repair (if it's even possible) for the purchase of a machine in better shape.

I would ask for a better deal, but still buy it and have it sent directly to Billy. He could make that poor thing shine like a new penny. And it any pretty color you want.

No power cord? It should be a give away---not $50.

Would love to be able to buy and send it to billy for a makeover, but can't do that right now.

Thanks for all the input!

If I lived in the area I would buy it and try to rehabilitate it. It can still be a useful machine.

Billy, did you line this on up on the back fence and take pot shots at it already?

I agree....save your money and wait until you can purchase one in better condition....you will be much happier in the long run! Good luck. :thumbup:
