I want the treadle!
Funny thing is I really dont need it, I just bid on it for the cast iron base and the drawers, I need a bunch of the drawers for a project I have in mind.For $47 I'd have bought it for a conversation piece, whether it worked or not.
Me too!I want the treadle!

The machine part will probably just go on a shelf to display, maybe convert it to electric someday.
Me too!
Well it's going into storage and I'm not going to do anything with it right away. I'm up for a trade of the cabinet but I need a bunch of drawers. I actually have no interest in the cabinet, I only want the base, machine, and drawers. The cabinet does look nice in the pics? So I'm not actually going to make any snap decisions, just gonna sit on it for awhile. But a boat load of singer drawers might entice me, lol.That's one of the really nice cabinets. I wish I could find a way to trade you some drawers and get those from you.
I wish I could find them here for $45. Everyone wants a fortune around here. I've got 3 treadles I need to get sandblasted and tables made.Saw one on Craigslist down here... Wanted $250 for the treadle alone, no cabinet. Had another, treadle was good, cabinet was in tough shape, water damage coming apart, with machine included, right next to it... $45
That's a good one to make an offer on. Offer less and they just might take it.

They ask that on craigslist here as well, but I have seen the same machines posted there for years, really nice examples will sell though. Amazes me how people with a rusty machine and cabinet that is falling apart think it's worth hundreds just because it's old, lol.Most of the ones around here on CL are in the $200 price range:

There are about 15 of them listed today. I guess I never thought there'd be that many for sale.

@Schroedc We might be able to work something out. I am needing to collect a total of 15 drawers. 5 banks of 3. I'm not going to be doing anything with this machine for awhile as I have lots of other things going on right now and still working 60 to 70 hours a week.
