I realize this thread died a month ago, but whoever ended up with this little wonder got a steal of a deal! |

Cant remember where or how much I paid for mine. I dont use it because rotary machines do not run smoothly. The little round rubber wheels gets lop sided and causes lots of problems. However, for collectiblity sake, it is an interesting little machine. I wouldnt pay $25 for it.. maybe $5 or $10. |
I just paid $20 for one exactly like this and it came in a cabinet. I noticed the electrical cord from the motor to the knee control is a cloth cord, but the cord to the wall outlet isn't -- it is rubber but old and needs replacing. I would like to know the year it was made. The serial number starts with a 151-. Anybody know?

If it fit in my budget for that week I would have paid the $25 for it.
