Great Machine and cabinet. I just got a singer red eye 66 in a cabinet much like that and love the size of it as I am VERY limited in room here.
I paid more but is sews nice and they are great machines.

That's a beautiful machine and cabinet. Now who could pass it up at that price? Certainly I wouldn't have. Congrats on your great buy.

Something I'll never be able to own, even at that awesome price. Congratulations. I remembered this story I wrote about an old treadle and thought I'd link it here in case you wanted to read it. Enjoy the machine. It is so awesome.

Girliegirl,
Your new treadle is beautiful! I never find them here for less than a $100, even in terrible condition.
