Thanks Grant. I have a cabinet exactly like the one in the link. I have often wondered who made it. It had a Belair 929 Deluxe ZZ machine mounted in it. As I remember I paid about $40 for it at GW.

Caroline, You got a beautiful cabinet and a good price on such a cabinet as this. If I had the room and the money, I would be on their doorstep. Does your Bel Air fit in it? It looks like a Kenmore would go in it pretty well to me from the pictures because of the square corners but not all that worthy of it in my opinion. None the case, I think it is gorgeous and looks functional too.

lol - I hate it when they want people to make an offer on crap like that... no doubt the offer would never be enough...

The one in front on the left looks like it might be in halfway decent shape. Not too sure about the others. And the wood on all of them is pretty sad.

Me too! What a great guy to offer to do that for someone. I hope someone who is nearby and appreciates it gets to buy it. I would love to have that cabinet and the machine is OK too. I have a White just waiting for its new cabinet home.

If folks would want this picked up and/or shipped.... I am willing.

I already emailed the owner telling them that if they could not sell it please email me before doing something stupid with it.... (worded nicer of course)

Me too, I think that is the prettiest table I have ever seen. had to correct my spelling.

What I meant to say was I would love to have the table but would not need the machine. However I can's afford to drive out to CA to get it.

The Belair was mounted in it. The opening had some "surgery" to make it fit. I will take some pictures later or go back and re-size the original pictures that were taken before the QB change.
