I'd like a close up of the machine but I'd be interested at least. yes, the compulsion strikes again to buy another/more vintage sewing machines.

"This is an old sewing machine cabinet, not sure just how old it is. $100.00 OBO cash only must sale"

I thought I was missing something but it's the machine that's missing. Now, it is a nice cabinet but not at that price.

Now, here's a seller of few words. I'll bet this lovely specimen works great.....it certainly seems to be in wonderful condition. :) Wish I knew how to make a sarcasm smiley.

It's a 15-91,... does that help the compulsion? ;)

I think they either want to sell it for $450, or want someone to show them how to thread it, neither of which is likely going to occur.

I wonder what that attachment with all of the buttons does. Must be rare. :p
