You can't go wrong for the price. These older machine have beautiful stitches & are all metal, you will never wear it out.

Yes, I know about how well the sew. This makes my 9th antique Singer. 4 Featherweights, 2-301's, 99K, 185 J, and now this 503. I have got to STOP this, I have no idea where this one is going to be set up...

LOL Start buying them without the cabinet. But I hear you. I have sewing cabinet row (4 machines) in my living room of all places. One is a treadle Red Eye 66, a Singer 301 and a Singer 15-91. The other one is a pink zig zag style machine with lots of cute cams from the 1950s. That one will go to my soon to be DIL. Still there are atleast 5 more vintage machines in my studio up stairs with no cabinet. I am starting to put some to use though, the 301 and Feather Weight and plan to use an old style Bernina 830. Oh the 500 is still in the garge and who knows what else.

That isnt including what is in my house that I will not use because they are either really rare or near perfect. Oh and there are 3 treadles in the garage that havent made it anywhere yet. :roll:

OK, "Rocky" Is all spiffed up. I can't believe what good shape he is in. I am thinking about getting rid of the cabinet. It is wobbly and I really don't want to leave it in the living room. No room. He came with alot of attachments. No book, but I downloaded one for free on the net. These are the wrong cams and I have them ordered. These are for a 328, along with a 328 Manuel like new.

Rocky is quite handsome and in great shape for an older machine.
I am sure he will enjoy being put between two lovely ladies as well.

Happy sewing.

The spool pin that is on top of the machine can be pulled off and then put under the top in its little storage spot. But you got a great deal on the machine and cabinet!!
