I'm thrilled beyond belief! A good friend GAVE me an antique Singer 15-88 in its original cabinet for helping him gut his basement a few weeks ago. The cabinet needs some restoration and the bottom of the treadle has some rust due to a flood, but the machine and the treadle move smoothly. I have the original manual for the machine and all of the attachment feet that came with it, too! How awesome is that?
It'll take some time to restore to its former glory, but it's useable, once I get a belt for it and do some cleaning. I'm just so tickled! There are links to some pictures below; I hope they don't split. If they do, I'll post tinyurl links right after this post.
I also got a second treadle cabinet, but no machine for that one. Inside was a manual for a Pfaff 6, which is most likely the machine that fit onto the top. That treadle didn't allow for the machine to drop down into the cabinet, though. It is in pretty sad shape, but if anyone has a Pfaff 6 and wants to take a stab at restoring it, we might be able to work out a way to get this puppy to ya. Let me know. (I've made another posting in the group for that, in case anyone misses this one).
Happy dance with me, y'all! Once I get this thing going, I'm going to have even more incentive to quilt!
