It's pretty good. The cabinet has become a hardware donor, it was bottom line to begin with and not worth saving as I have better ones.

For any of us who haven't seen one before, that is a turtle back motor.

Yes, very common. I have 2 (at last count -- might have to double-check). Free-Westinghouse made a LOT of them!

Here's a very cool one:

All these views these CL pages are getting may be causing sellers to assume an interest that is artificially generated by these posts.

I actually want a turtleback. To me they're an interesting part of the evolution of the electric sewing machine.

KRA you may be right. I know some sellers find us. I had one person get all sorts of bent because of my comments here. On the other hand I also know of a couple machines bought by members here after seeing these posts. It all works out.
