Default Singer Spartan For $25

I saw this listed on CL for $40. The lady said she would sell it for $25 as she was getting married and it needed to be gone. I think it is the cutest little machine but I didn't know the Spartan came in a cabinet. Now, my question is this. Is this an original Singer Cabinet for the Spartan or has this one been made for this machine by someone who owned it previously. It sews beautifully and looks so nice in this cabinet, albeit the cabinet needs a little work.

It looks like an original to me. I have a very similarly finished Kenmore cabinet. Fake Limed Oak from the 50s.

Yes, original Singer cabinet. I have one in a darker finish with a 99. I think these were the cabinets for those on a budget, not very ornate and pretty basic. Three-quarter machines in cabinets must have been bigger sellers around here since I've seen more in a cabinet than as portables over the past year. Cute little things!

Congratulations on a good purchase. Even with refinishing the cabinet you got a good deal.

I second this!!! The cabinet, alone, is worth more than $25.00 since is will fit other 3/4 sized machines, too. Did you end up getting it?
