yep, it's unanimous, we're all turning up our noses at it. Do they mark stuff down after awhile there?

I paid $300 to get my cabinet refinished at a Mennonite workshop. It's not as ornate as that one is, but it does have the top.
The machine and cabinet were given to me, so I didn't have that expense.

leonf, I'm no expert but I think those might be the Gingerbread decals?

I got a Redeye 66 in really good condition for $125 and the oak cabinet it came with was in excellent condition. Hopefully they'll reduce the price of that one to something more reasonable as I think $350 is way too expensive, especially with the cabinet needing restoration.

Lovely machine but pricey with damaged cabinet ...... I would have given her a little "pet" also and drooled over her abit! :D

Here is a link from ISMACS about the decals - close to Gingerbread but definitely Persian with the "snowflake" center
- have to scroll down

Beautiful machine but I think they're dreaming with that price.

Hey, Annette, did you look at this one? It looks interesting.

Based on the controller sitting there and the color and shape, I'd guess that's a Singer 600 to 700. Most have plastic gears.
