Nice candidate for a repaint. Every once in a while they show up that cheap. It's now 10:10 and the ad is still up.

a fw body I think hillsboro G/W just sold at 70/80 plus a 40 lb shipping. yes it was stripped. I'm not suck into the FW craze

That is not a great buy....

If the bobbin case is there you're basically getting the machine for free. I think it's a great buy. That on is a good candidate for a repaint. What's most unusual is we see a featherweight seller with a realistic price.
The ad is still up. 3:15 AM.

Where is Medford?

Whjch Medford???? I live in Medford NY there's Medford Oregon, Medford Idaho....where am I going? LOL I have two, one black, one white looking for the tan. Maybe it will come someday.

I zoomed it out...Oregon. If I leave now I can be there in a week. Not.

Ad still up at 8.14am in Kansas City

The ad is still up. Looking closer, it looks like the bed is twisted or buckled from a severe drop. It might be better as a parts donor.

Still makes it worth 50 bucks, if the bobbin case is there.

Cari

I thought the bed looked odd also. there cast alum, There is no way it would twist, it would break first, there is a large bare spot. I'd be more excited about it BUTT. after finding that this guy Fred still has all those machines. I know very well when I do go over there. I'll end up with more than I can handle. LOL and there are FW's in that pile.

Um....Can I be your new best friend? LOL. I've been toying with finding one that needs a new paint job. I'd never do that to one that didn't need it. I can't afford the high priced ones that have already been painted but I do have a family member who owns an auto body shop.

The more I think about that day Fred was showing me the stash , the more that comes back. yes there was little tiny black machines piled up. serpentine/ turtle back shaped ones. The treadles, and the massive doll collection, glass ware up the ya hoo, hit n miss motor shovels hoes, racks, LOLOL. JUNK on very hot day and yellow jackets with a happy face, and me feeling like raw meat.

and Fred telling me 20 yrs worth of storys. I just stop for a quick look see at a yard sale.

I'm working my self up to go over there ..... maybe I should take a half case of beer.. for me !!!!

It's a good time for it. No yellow jackets this time of year. Any you do find will be sluggish.

Years ago my mom bought a '70s anniversary edition Lincoln in beautiful condition for a half case of beer. We called it her gangstermobile, lol.

Cari

His son did clean up the property. They did lock up the old house and move Fred into a new double wide.

The dragging my feet is I'll be there for ever, listening to story's.

Now, I don't do scary movies. last time 24 + years ago. The place was a mess. The old school bus full of Dolls ( now gone) Truck boby machines and doll parts ( still there). THE chicken coop ( big wooden shed dirt floor) The wifes work shop, treadles benches old glass wear and doll parts every where you look. very dark inside.

It was like being in a Alfred Hitchcock movie. Doll heads watching you, legs hanging from the walls, bodys under the benches. I talking 1000's of those.

I'm going over there in a day or so, The weather is warmer now. I'm only going to ask him about parts , and see where that goes.

I'd love to hear the stories. Take a camera (with a flash;)) - I want to see this Alfred Hitchcock set!
