If anybody is interested, PM me and I can tell you where it's located. The cabinet will take quite alot of work.
The same thing happened to me today with the 15-30 in the parlor cabinet. My DH would have bought it for me as a birthday/Christmas present (he said so!) - but I really have no place to put it and the machine isn't in as good shape as mine (I'd swap it out if i got it) and it wasn't as cool as the cabinet I saw in the "Tea and Treadle" video with the machine that pops up. This one the machine lifted up - it had less drawers, no attachments - it just didn't 'talk' to me.

How do you keep a machine from being parted out turned into a coffee table if you can't keep it? I have decided the little New Home Ruby needs more restoring than I can do, but I don't want her to be taken apart. She's a 1904 and deserves better. Such a cute little machine. Freecycle? Salvation Army? Ad in the paper?

I'd do CL, but instead of "free" or "for sale", I'd list the machine for "adoption" and take "applications"...

what has you stuck? I have a Gorgeous Singer 401 I am truly stumped on. Some Egor hit the stitch selector with a hammer or something and bent the shaft in an attempt to get it unstuck. WRONG. Granted, I didn't pay much, but I would LOVE to see that baby working. My donor machine is a Singer 500 so the shaft is not the same. I got it out - hit the shaft to straighten it out and put it back but I think I didn't do it quite right so it doesn't work any better. ggggrrrrr..... by now there are probably vital screws missing. I do very much understand how the thing is suppose to work now. It doesn't scare me or leave me weak any more - just only frustrated. I'm not a quitter so even though I've spent hours & days on it, I'll take another stab at it again - that was my day....
