I counted tonite and just the machines in my studio that are mine add up to 19. Toss in the customers machines and it is well over 30, and I wonder why I can get any quilting done. :roll:

OK you twisted my arm. I will be there first thing in the morning. If it were ment to be I will bring it home. If it is gone, it wasn't ment to be.. I hope it is still there. HEHE. I'll let you know in the morning, if it doesn't snow to hard...

Go get it that is a great machine to own, I have a 500A in my sunroom next to me and even though I never use it I know it will hang with anything out there on the market today!!

May go back later and get it. I usually can't decide while I am looking at it. Come home and think well, I'll go back, if it is still there I was ment to have it . If it is gone then I didn't really have room for it anyway...Oh by the way, Price: $12.95.

check if the door hinge has been glued, etc. these break really easy & very expensive to replace. (usually buy another donor machine) they are great machines & that is a price to jump on. can't remember if you have to have cams to do the stitches. maybe is the 500 that does not need cams. you can get extra cams on eBay. be sure the bobbin case is with it also.

I wish you LUCK!! I hope it's there in the morning. Let us know!

Couldn't wait until morning. Went back and "Rocky" was still there waiting for me to load him up and bring him home. Will post pictures after I get him all spiffed up.

I am so happy you went back and he was still there. I can't wait to see him.

He really doesn't even need to be spiffed up, but I like to make them shine. I'll have his picture for you tomorrow.

will be looking forward to his picture:)

When I saw "19" I thought WHOA!!! Then I saw who it was....not surprised!! LOL! I have 7 and only one doesn't work...I just am in the middle of a beautiful quilt with my granddaughter so haven't taken the time to work on it. I will... and let me say.....I paid lots of cash for my Janome and my little princess (Featherweight) is by far my favorite to sew on! And an old WWII Grand Rotary is a grand old machine and it purrs where the Janome growls. They just don't make them like they used to. Sad.
