Beautiful cabinet...just not *that* beautiful.

This one has been up for months-you'd think the seller would get a clue.

These always make me laugh. I have probably half a dozen-it seems like they come in odd-lot boxes a lot. I have one that looks like a big Zippo that does actually work pretty well, but the rest...just make me laugh.

I'll admit I know nothing about industrials, but this just seems a bit steep.

I might be more impressed if I could actually see what I was looking at.

I was hoping this was going to be a white FW-no such luck!

Yes, I thought it was funny cause if your going to be asking 450 for anything, at least do your research, and get the right information on your listing, might help to sell it.

I think 'Singer' is so linked with sewing machines, some people do not see it as a company name, just part of the equipment name. But yes, you would think that a person could read what is on the machine!
