Another machine made by National. Very pretty, but where is the cabinet?

My Vindex Special's cabinet needs some major reconstruction. There are vultures out there that make off with the bases and leave the tops behind (minus the drawers - they sell those off - hack up the legs...) So you end up with a machine head setting on broken pieces of wood. The one I have lives on powered by a suicide knob so little kids can try their hands with an old sewing machine - I let them punch holes in paper bags.

I have a Vindex C also. [ATTACH=CONFIG]446783[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]446784[/ATTACH]

It was a mess when I got it but luckily the parts were all there. My DH fixed the cabinet.
