Only a Minnesota B cabinet will house your "B" without modification. Minnie's A,C,D,F,G,H,K,L,S or X will not work without modifying the top.

Jon,

You forgot to mention the Minihaha.....

GreyQ, IIRC, you have a MN "C" not a "B"

I like that cabinet. For $15 I would run with it.

More cabinet choices with a "C" than a "B". Davis Minnie's A,C, & S will work. Avoid Minnehaha :D. If you get a later Vertical Feed that cabinet will also work.

You mean you haven't allready?

I was just searching for the EDIT button. My short term memory is crap sometimes, which is why I have supported Alzheimer's Art Quilts Initiative www.alzquilts.com It is a Minnesota C. I knew that. Sorry all, but it's good information to know that not all machines are inter-changeable. I did see a Minnehaha machine on CL a couple of days ago. But I am focusing on only adding a Greyhound, the right Greyhound New Home and maybe a Ruby and maybe a Sphinx.

Yea, this is how it started for most of us . . .

I had got my list down to 1 machine, and then I found three more I was interested . . .

Though I am still at only 1 cabinet that I want. My list now includes a New Home (I want an old one, pre top clamp feet) a Standard (or one of it's renamed ones) and the Singer 319 - which is the one I was looking for before. Oh, and the 1930's era 99.

But I did decide against getting the electric New Home or Free.

Though if you do decide on that New Home in the cabinet east of you, I'll still be interested in that machine p though it is actually newer than what I figured out I'm looking for - and I'm pretty sure that cabinet will fit your MN.

That's an absolute steal -- the spoon carving is wonderful. Even if you can't use it for that purpose, its a steal!

For 15.00 I would get it in a heartbeat.
