I find this posted on CL last Saturday and sent off an email right away, but heard nothing, so I figured that it would be gone. I got a call from a nice lady today - when we were trying to figure out when I could see it, found out she works in the town where I live so she is going to stop by after work tomorrow to show me the machine. So if nothing really bad jumps out at me, I think I'm going to have a pretty new machine. I think it's a 99k. She used it for a conversation piece, she's not a sewer, so I don't know anything about it other than the pictures for now. Any thoughts? Anything I should look for? Is the price right?

I have no idea about price, since I live in Ireland, but she is pretty, with a lovely face plate.
|
i would get it
|
I would run...don't walk....run!!!!! and get it for
that price alone. |
Check to make sure the bobbin case is in the machine. Also make sure the knee bar is there (usually stored inside the cover); it's in the photo. Both of these items would cost additional $$$ to replace if missing.
I bought a similar machine at a garage sale for about $30, but no oil can (they are worth a little) and no accessories came with it. $50 is about top price for what is in the photo, at least where I live. Be sure never to pick up this machine by the handle. They are heavy, and quite frequently the locks break and the machine falls. Always support it underneath. |

I would just hand her the fifty dollar bill in exchange for the machine w/out even taking it out and RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I would run too! (of course I would do OBO and still be ready to pay 50)
|
A bobbin case is pretty easy to order over the internet; they usually run about $30 with shipping.
