Here's one I'd say is the worth what that sellers is asking, "if" it looks as good as the pic. I see the wood in the background is the same color as the cabinet. so there color is off a bit.

Looks like standard size machine with the treadle customized; perhaps for a midget?

Rodney. it's sometime hard to believe a machine like that has been listed for so long.. Makes one wonder about the buyers, If I lived up there , I would go out of my way to get that one, just for the hand crank.

Those chinese cranks suck, compared to an original

This (fancy) cabinet reminds me of the MIT robot Big Dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww and now I can't get that image out of my head, seeing the cabinet awkwardly slink away.... LOL

(Also, another case of "imagine the sewing machine" .....)

You say ruined. I say a treadle cabinet that doesn't require me to lift and move it is the treadle for me.
