Default Wheeler and Wilson: fabulous Victorian treadle base!

I rarely see nice old cabinets but this trumps any I've seen in the past! The machine looks a bit worn and I really know nothing about W&W but tempted to pick this up just because I love the cabinet. Price is much cheaper than many of the Redeye's I've seen in beat up cabinets.

Beautiful cabinet and a superior sewing machine. Bobbins are tough to find though.

I would do just about anything I could to put that cabinet / machine in my collection. Love that wood.

That's really pretty! I've never seen that cabinet before, either. It looks to be in amazing shape. I've never seen a WW9 in person, but I'd like to get one; from everything I've read, it's a great machine. If I was you, I would snap it up.

Fantastic looking machine and beautiful cabinet. I have 3 W& W all needing cleaning and none is in a cabinet like that. Best of luck.
