$35 for just the cabinet is a steal. I think you're just showing off what a great deal you have.

Have a great time with it!

Sorry you couldn't get it. I have one and I love it. I got mine for free and for sentimental reasons - we had one growing up and my maiden name is White. I love how the machine pops up out of the cabinet and it sews great!

I love,love,love my white rotary treadle. The head was free from a friend of a friend. It was a family machine, treasured by the former owner. Somebody turned it into an electric portable. I was able to find a nice cabinet for it locally. I've been using it daily to make quilt blocks. Once I got used to the threading pattern and the hand wheel rotating backwards from the Singer treadles I am used to, I really grew to like it.

thanks for the inputs. Appreciate it.

now I know. Next I will run and get it

as rodney mentioned in another post - timing is everything. i've seen this CL listing for weeks now and now that i inquired or interested, there comes a buyer ahead of me.

I have one and here in Central FL I paid $175, it is in great shape and made in 1911 or 12, forget which right now. Just don'e have room to set it up and use it. Also got a 66 red eye in parlor cabinet and paid close to as much. One day I will have time to set them up and use them. Check and make sure it went too, things happen and maybe they didn't take it. Worth a try.
