You need to make sure the bobbin can is there plus something in the bobbin can. Those 2 pieces are rare as hen's teeth. Hopefully, more knowledgeable people will chime in here.
The cabinet is the mission style cabinet and very nice looking.

I noticed there are no pictures of the "rare" bobbins included in the pics. Scare tactic maybe??????

Steve, That is a sweet looking machine and decals are in good shape.

I am in other parts of the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're right about the kitties and dogs not caring as long as there's room for them there too. I would love to have the downstairs but DH has said no way in Hades to that request so I must do some down sizing of my stuff. Uncovering it first would be a good start but am wondering how many will actually turn up in that process. Probably more than I realize. :D

We are going to look at it tomorrow AM, and if it's all there, it will come home with us.
