My son is such an enabler - he's the one that found my Redeye. I told him last night he almost had a road trip (for the black 301) and he said I should put the area he's in on Craigslist and find machines he can bring to me. As he works all over the USA, that could be dangerous. Ohio now and Louisana or Utah next.

Still wondering about the 15. At $15, I could resell it if I didn't like it. I may call my friend after she gets out of school. It's bad when you know the garage saler.

That davis is identical to my cabinet (same machine) except for the handles on the drawers. Mine is also missing one piece of the scroll detail on the front center. Does anyone know where I can get a "replacement" for it? I'm fully restoring the cabinet. Irons are repainted and I have the drawers finished but still have work to do on the body of the cabinet. It wasn't in quite as bad shape but the veneer is gone.

I called and left a message this morning. Got a call this evening and the Davis is mine. I am driving down to rescue that poor baby on Saturday. DH thinks I am nuts. But I told him I have sewing machines and he has a boat. Nuf said!

If I still lived in the Twin Cities I think I would have to try to get this little gem. I never heard of it. I'm doing research now.
