Don't look for any discouragement here. We're a bunch of enablers and that's a very pretty machine. The cabinet can be repaired.

teehee...my husband is cringing on the inside and biting his tongue...but he just bought another camo bag on ebay so he can't talk. My machines are always cheaper than what he pays for those bags...

BTW...my DH put up pics of the Frankentreadle on his Making a MUT for my Dear Wife thread. It's finished with one insert for one machine made. It came out so beautiful!!
Ask my dear wife (Janice) about the $7000.00 we spent on her 1962 Thunderbird!! ;-)
Janice, Please show off that gorgeous cabinet when you get it in your sewing room.
And Janice you are one lucky lady, a 1962 Thunderbird!! Please post a photo for us to see.
John, Again, nicely done work!!

well, I set out this morning fully intending to go back and see if it was still there and make an offer. I stopped at another sale along the way. I immediately spotted a sewing machine in a dirty white case, from the 70s likely. Some nelco machine I'd never seen or heard of, very dirty. well used. The lady saw me looking at it so I asked her if it was the only sewing machine she had and she said no, she had another she hadnt put out yet. She pulled out a little blue and white case and my heart skipped a beat. Opened it up to reveal an immaculate white FW 221...picked it up for 90.00. It will be my daughter's as she's been wanting a sewing machine in her room, and none of my cabinets will fit with her other furniture. After I bought that I didn't go on to the other sale. I guess if she's meant to be mine the owner will call or email me. I had to resist....but I still want the other one too!!
