Good for you ! Wonder why she finally gave in , although it really doesn't matter as long as you get it :lol:

great news to hear you got what you wanted in the first place , see good things come to those that wait !!!!

Way to go Billy :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Your ribbing and patience paid off. Congratulations :!:

She bought another vintage machine that has all the bells and whistles. I will have to ask her what it is, but she fell in love with it and had to have it!

I think she ended up with a Riccar.

Congrats!

that is great, I am so glad you got it. what a wonderful day its gone to be for you. Have fun. God bless. Penny

I picked up the machine today and I am completely bummed out. She left the machine sitting out in the elements and the finish is coming off of the cabinet and the papers, accessories, cams and all are missing. The machine is not frozen but it is very stiff to move so I am going to have to tear it all the way apart and give it a complete service.

I can not believe that she did this to a 500A :roll: :evil: :evil:

I will post a few photos of it as it sits and hope I can save the cabinet.

Billy

Oh Billy! What a shame...such a nice machine doesn't deserve that kind of treatment....

Here are the photos, I can save it but the cabinet is going to need the most work of it all.

Billy

Well for what its worth I have the machine back together and it runs like a champ!!!

But there is a few issues I have to deal with. I am still missing cams but I found a box of accessories for a 301 that most of the feet that were with the machine originally. But I am missing the Zig Zag foot so I can not play with the optional stitches. The cabinet needs refinishing and I really do not like messing with the cabinets but looks like I will for this one.

All in all this is a wonderful machine and I really love the fact that it does all of the fancy things that the new ones can do.
