What a beautiful cabinet. I don't believe I have seen one like that before. The decals on the machine are also in very good condition.

I'd buy that for the cabinet - and I already have two machines like that one.

Though I think I'm already over my "max capacity" with sewing cabinets. The hard part is going to decide which I want to keep and which I can rehome!

Love this machine and the cabinet is beautiful. Love the legs on the cabinet. Hope you get it.

A tasteful cabinet. And the machine is not bad either!

As promised, here are some pics. I still need to get a better one of the full cabinet.

I still do not know much about this machine - the serial number is CE68092 and there is a number on the cover of the manual: C1210 6-26-7M. I'm not sure what the gold ring is (was in a drawer) but I'm pretty sure it does not belong to the machine (?). May also need to get felt for the spool pin.

I will either try to re-wire it myself or find someone else to do it. This will be my first attempt at machine servicing.

notice the little nubbin on the base of the spool pin? that is there for the same reason most folks get felt disks. it keeps the spool off of the paint all by itself! Cool Machine!

I like that light fixture. High enough so nobody will burn their hand on it while reaching for the presser foot lever!
