Oh, yes, I am so envious, a 117 is No. 1 on my wish list , second a 201K23. They don't turn up often here, but there is a chance. I would accept the early German cast iron zigzaggers too, with motor and light. I passed on a Vesta ZZ in a fantastic cabinet, but only because it was treadle. I regret a bit I didin't act on it.

Don't you like that you can hang the insert on the left side of the cabinet? MIne had a little pin cushion in the right hand drawer! No accessories though.

It has arrived!

That is the before picture. I wanted this machine for a specific purpose that I wanted good slow speed control and strength. I machined a 9 spoke singer hand wheel for it. I left the pulley area which is about a half inch bigger so it has a bit better low gearing. I am amazed at how much difference it makes!
