You'll get no willpower from the Gulf! I'll just give you a yes to say go for it.

Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. You rescued a good machine.

I knew I'd get no help here! I do want that cabinet so the whole machine will come home with me but it'd be better after Christmas. It was a pretty big cabinet for two 'old' ladies and my car but sooner or later my son and I will go get it. I think it will fit in the Ford 350 with dual back tires very well.

Free means you take it.

I'll be getting a free machine in a day or two. A good friend sent me an email, she had forgotten she had this until she saw it in the shed.

All she knows - it's 40-50 years old, belonged to her MIL - it was left after the family took what they wanted, and she and her husband put the remaining items in their shed and forgot about them. She said I could stop and pick it up any time, so I'm assuming it's in a case, not a cabinet.

No, but it's a White in one of their pretty cabinets so, of course, I said,"Yes". I didn't bring it home - either I'll pick it up or she and her husband will bring it to me - preferably after Christmas. Now I really do need to list the Leader for sale. I didn't look at the White machine. I assume it's flowered Family Rotary. If it's an embossed one, I'll sell it and put my flowered one in the cabinet.

i guess we're of no help as we have the same addiction.
