This is an odd one.

I'd already have that one on my table, playing with it if I was anywhere close! :)

Why would you buy it??

It's beautiful and they made wonderful sewing machines. The transverse shuttle is interesting - I don't have any transverse machines in my collection. If the decals were better, I would buy this one.

I passed one up about five years ago with darn near perfect japanning, nickel plating and decals and I've been kicking myself for it ever since. :(

For the reasons that thepolyparrot gave. I don't think the decals are all that bad, and the price is decent. The main reason? I don't have one! :D
