I about lost it when I saw it. eek

I always wonder about the mental state of someone who does something like this, LOL!! At least a lamp will give light. . . Did you notice there is a bid on it??

OMG, that is disturbing......

The really funny thing is that the reserve price was not met!

uh...machine? Was there a machine? I was too busy checking out that cabinet...wondering if it had the glass inkwell in the upper left hand drawer ...sigh!

"Oh and here is another WTF?!?

Yep, this has been on and off ebay for about a month now. I wondered if I had the nerve to strip the paint, decided not to.

OK, I'm on a roll now and I need to stop, but this one they are suggesting turning into a lamp or vase. It looks nice to me just the way it is and the price is right. What do you think?

OK, I'm going to stop now and go to bed. Nite all.

I wish that machine were near me, I would buy it for the machine AND the cabinet. I am looking for good cabinets.

Ask me how I know ;-)

My 301 I acquired last Friday came in this exact cabinet. Did you notice the built in electric foot controller at the inside right bottom? It pulls out for use and slide back in for storage.

Ask them if the portable foot controller is still in the cabinet. It will be hanging on the inside right of the horizontal door on the right. It should be in a bracket above the drawers, mounted on the side wall. It could also be seen from the top when taking the machine out of its cradle/mounting.

I like this cabinet if the knees would fit.

Aardie.

That machine is beautiful!

That little machine is the cutest thing ever! Geeze, it would be cool to find something like that at a YS. There must be kid's machines running around out there that are not in a cabinet -- stuck in someone's garage, shed, basement waiting for us!

The listings that amaze me, are the ones that are asking crazy money for machines that are not in the best condition. At least wipe the dust off before you take that picture. Here are a couple in my area.

Well, look what was listed on my CL. E-mailed to see if it is gone, sure it is but who knows! Waiting for reply.
