"There are some attachments and the original manual is in a drawer but oil soaked. I have produced a replica that is like new but the original gives the date and number of the machine during production. (See photos)"
They made a replica of the model 66 manual, even though the oil soaked page said 115. LOL!
I guess they're pretty much the same machine, they're both black.

Steve, I went to look at a treadle machine recently that was being sold on eBay. The seller said to me, "When I told x I was selling it, he said you'd better take the machine out and have a look..." They had been using it as a TV cabinet and never even looked at the machine (which was rusty and broken). Then she said, my parents have got one that's in beautiful condition; I asked if they would sell theirs and she said no. They are using theirs as their TV cabinet as well and never want to sell it

Hey, now I know how I'm going to advertise the 40 or so cabinets I need to get rid of... LOL

Seriously, I can sell cabinets all day long, and I can sell sewing machines all day long. Pair them together, and they sit for months.

I'm finding the same thing - I have some nice machines and nice cabinets - I give them their pick - they pick a case or no case but for sure they don't haul away a cabinet... Cabinet are ssssooooooo not a selling point.

I have A brand new.viking designer ruby i got in May. I paid 6k for the machine and the embroidery software package. I have made a bunch of smaller projects on it and she fits my needs well. I make baby and wedding gifts, and just have fun with it. I had an older machine i sold.on ebay for 1k. Depending on the brand and what all.you get with it, 1-2k can be a reasonable price if you get plenty of hoops and accessories with it. Feel free to message me for more info. I did alot of research .
