This came from GW with a really nice working Sewmor ZZ model 945

What's neat about this Sears Roebucks cabinet is that it has hinges for both Kenmores and Singer/Universal sewing machines!

The machine and cabinet are both great finds to me. I wouldn't have been able to pass them up either. I like the built in ruler on the top. What are your plans for them?

My GF says she wants to make a quilt after the holidays, from the scraps from her fabric origami creations. Her Bernina 817 is rather homely, so she put it away and will try using it. It's really fast and pretty quiet! The little cabinet will get refurbed and paired with a machine for the day when I start a booth at antique and quilting shows.

If you're packing it around to shows I would seriously consider modifying it so you can carry the cabinet and machine separately. Maybe remove the lift and put a box in the opening so your machine and case bottom can just drop in. That way you're not hauling all the weight around at once. It may be possible to do and still be able to return the cabinet to original if you want at a later date.
I don't get around as well as I once did so I tend to look for easier ways to do things.

I usually just loosen the hinge pin screws and pull the machine out of the cabinet when I get machines in those kind of cabinets on Craigslist. Most of them have a cord block, so it is easy to disconnect the motor/light plugs. Getting the machine back on the hinge pins can be tricky, but with two people it is pretty easy.

If you put the hinges in the "up" position, then put a long rubber band around them both, it puts just enough pressure on them to hold them in place. Slide the machine down on them & then snip the band. I live alone & needed to come up with an easy way to do it....

Good thinking path49! Not going to lug it around that much, just sell 'em. I'm up to 31 machines and the idea is just to enjoy fixing them up and then put 'em back into circulation. Doubt that I'll actually make much money, but that's okay.

Very nice looking machine.

I love the cabinets with the ruler incised in them. Good find!
