Old thrashed 1950's sewing machine...
Sometimes I buy old sewing machines, fix them and resell. Recently I picked up a Japanese Singer clone in poor shape in a cabinet. It would require extensive work to fix, but the parts I wanted were in the drawers. A Bernina accessories box with feet, tools, and other items Bernina. And a Bernina foot pedal and the power/foot pedal attachment cord. Price for all:$20. Plus, they threw in some books I wanted for free. The box of feet etc brought $50 on ebay and the footpedal and cord brought another $30. Plus I'll donate the actual machine and cabinet to goodwill and take that off my taxes. It's actually a nice cabinet but the machine itself is shot. (And I get to read the books for free!)
