I contacted her, very nice lady and she sent me more pics. It was a roll top to start with as we all surmised. They cut a hole into the desk and set a platform in it so any machine can juts sit inside. The desk was very beat up and the machine in it was a Nelco. I passed..LOL

Of course they neglected to post any pertinent photos that show how the machine sits in or on the desk.

So, if you only have room for one Parlor cabinet which do you go for? The $12,000 Singer or the W&G?
Decisions, decisons...
If I could swing it I'd be all over the W&G machine even without the glass tension.
The patio table isn't terrible for what it is. It's a lot nicer than a lot of the re-purposing that people do. I do wonder how many people it takes to move it though. Cast iron adds up fast and there's plenty there.

Side tables are one thing, but for a table that is made to have people sit around, treadle sewing machine irons are one of the worst things to use as a table base.

I wonder why it hasn't sold yet?

I bet. At least make up a reasonable amount to ask for your non-antique , post-WW2, made in Japan sewing machine.

Good grief. I'd need to be in a Haz-Mat suit to go look at that one.

How do machines get that gross? Seriously? I swear I've seen pizza, cookies, chocolate, etc all over them. I think I found sand in a serger.... is that mould? Is it really that hard to take care of an indoor appliance? Man! I wonder what their microwave looks like inside.... *shudders*
