Nice Red Eye. You even get a key and the original screwdrivers!

That looks like a beauty and the cabinet looks to be in pretty good shape too. Good buy!

Yes, I bought her! She is pretty clean already, but I would like to spruce her up a bit, and then I'll post a photo. I heard it's safe to use sewing machine oil to rub her down. I want to take care to not harm the decals, so if this isn't true, please let me know. Thanks, everyone, for your comments.

The decals look good, there is a manual and accessories. The cabinet looked good from the front. If you want it and you have the $125, I think you will be happy with your purchase when the power goes off and you can keep on sewing.

Congratulations. Mine was free, decals are worn in front of the needle, and the cabinet lift lid has some water damage. But I still love it very much. I doubt you will ever be sorry.
