They are merely collecting email addresses to sell.

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.
Yup and that there needle goes up and down

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

Go for it! I rarely sit on them more than a few days unless they have those pesky sewing machines in them.
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 got one like that and it is fully equip it was bought by a lady who never used it. Her sister didn't know why she bought it but I pd $600 for it. She really is pretty.
