I have one of those I'll sell for $6. Of course it needs some TLC... AND I doubt if I will get any takers.

Seems like I am suddenly seeing and liking the old girls with the "robot" face plates...

ewing and ahing...

This is yet another cabinet that would look right at home in my "Brady Bunch" split level house. The machine looks awesome too.

This poor thing looks like the machine and the table were both hosed down with black spray paint. . . http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/atq/3996943943.html

Good grief. That is the most somber looking ad ever. That price doesn't help any, either.

Half of the light is missing, there is a flat spot o the bobbin winder tire, the electrical cord has been taped together. And what is this about foot pedals, plural? And what is a double thread holder and where is it on the machine? $350???

And they don't even know what it is, other than "Vintage the Singer manufacturing machine 1950". The word "sewing" is not in the ad, though I think ebay will find it if someone searches "sewing machine" because it's in the right category.

Today I discovered that it's worthwhile to search "sowing machine":
