Could someone tell me if this is a good price for the machine and cabinet. I can't go look at it and will have to have my bff look at it since she lives nearby the seller.
Thanks!

Just found out that the owner on the above listing has offered the machine and cabinet for FREE. I just sent an email claiming it (hopefully) and emailed my best friend and told her to go pick it up for me!!!! Pray and keep your fingers crossed for me (if it's meant to be mine!!)
Hoping....not quite doing happy dance yet!! Will post with outcome!

Will someone please explain what a rotary machine is? I know there are several brands. Why are they different?

Miz Johnny can you answer that one? Or Billy? Singer never badged a machine, and I have never seen one with any name across the arm made by Singer - accept SINGER?

Chicago Mail Order became known as Aldens, which in the 1970s was sold to Wicks Lumber, who closed the company in 1982.
I remember the mail order catalog from the 50s and 60s.
