And so it begins... LOL
Congrats! My first vintage was a White 77 and I blame this board for "giving me the bug"! A small house and tight budget keeps me from collecting scads of machines, but I scour the classifieds, thrifts, GW, Ebay, Craigslist like a fiend!!!

I can't see your pictures.

Oh, and one last picture.

The "big & heavy" thing in the car that was NOT a sewing machine.

Nope. Not a sewing machine at all. Apparently it's a stealth toilet. (?? LOL)

No? They show for me...I didn't get any errors!

Anybody else able to see them?

The only picture that I can see is that toilet ! :D:D:D

HAHAHAHAH! OH, doesn't that just figure!? Well, I got disappointed by that same toilet when I expected a sewing machine, so now I'm just sharing that feeling with all of you! LOL!

OK. Let me see if I can fix this mess....sheesh! I swear I'm not REALLY trying to prank you!

Rats...can't edit the older posts. Let's see if this works....re-pasting and re-uploading everything.

Here it is! Safe & sound in my quilting room. My quilt inspector is trying her hand at sewing machine cabinet inspections. See the little hidden cubby full of stuff?

Closeup of the worst of the damage on the cabinet. Some of this is grime but most of it is scrapes and gouges. I think I can disguise most of it; I'm OK with some wear left showing. (That way it'll match everything else I own, LOL)

The machine! Pretty clean overall. Bobbin winder could use a new rubber tire but it'll do for now.

The tension confused me at first, but the manual is there so I figured it out. Yay for manual! (Sorry for the glare...)

I tried to get out of this reflection but you can still sorta see me. Hi!

This picture makes me notice that the machine sits a little crookedly inside the cabinet. I'll have to see if I can figure out what's going on there.

The stitch sample I did in the store; this is a (rather gross) denim patch that was loose in that cubby.
This is the top stitches (you can see a bit of white bobbin thread - the back shows only bobbin thread so it's only off by a touch.)

And all the stuff! All of these things were stuffed into that cubby:

Someone had a fondness for little gold-handled scissors! Most of these are so dull they're worthless. The black handled scissors are Wiss but the rest are no-name. Some of them are still brand-new in plastic but they're not good quality.

Lots of needle packs from an insurance company & some other misc places. Most still full. Also a couple somewhat mangled needle threaders, one with a Necci logo.

Misc tools. Any idea what the sort of key-shaped thing on the right is for? It looks homemade; the end has been cut at an angle so it's somewhat pointy. That pink thing is the dullest seam ripper I've ever seen!

Did that work? I'll re-do the rest if it worked.

Yes, now the pics are in their own little box labelled "attachments". Please show more !

Way to go, that's a lot of goodies that came with the machine. At least you didn't find any bedside table stuff in it.
I have about that many pairs if small scissors. I don't buy good small ones because I always drop them at some point and bend the blades.
