I noticed that the cover for the bobbin hook is in with accessories. No wonder it looks new, someone didn't know how to put it back together. :)

I've seen that before, too. I also got one that looked VERY new - the tension spring was not set right.

Love the Rocketeer and cabinet, but $600 is a tad steep.

Hi Everyone,
I have some new Craig's List ads showing rusty machines for outrageous prices.

http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4152767484.html
No machine shown, but just the cabinet and apparently it has implements: http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4101180571.html
The cabinet is in poor condition, they want $250: http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4135703333.html
machine rusted and it can be yours for a mere $200! :http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4119215899.html
Singer red eye that's rusted and the cabinet has a large burn on the top:http://austin.craigslist.org/atq/4111948527.html

They obviously can't make up their mind which model it is and for that price I would expect the table and a whole lot more.

They didn't look on the machine to see that its a 500a, not a 401a. Talk about over priced!! It didn't cost that much new.

This one has come up before. They have a description for the 500a farther down in the ad.
