Heya!

This popped up on an auction site (I have asked for more pictures), any ideas? Hoping for 132k or 132b6?

Hoping I'll get more tomorrow. The thing is: it's free. The problem is that it's about 1000km away....

Compare the cost of driving to pick it up, to having it freighted to you ?

Yes,it's a 132K6 since it has the vibrating foot.

Thank you for replying guys, I have told the seller I'm taking it. Ive got a friend who lives close by, he will pick it up for me. A 132k6 for free... it's a bit too good to be true, but worst case is that its broken beyond repair which means I can still use it for spare parts.

Once you get it going you can go into the buffing wheel business. That's what that machine was made to sew.

Please excuse my ignorance but I've not seen this term before - is it a type of walking foot or similar?

Yes,when the outside foot goes back (with the feed dog underneath pulling the material) the inside foot lifts up & the when the inside foot goes down the outside which is spring loaded moves foward to make another stitch

Seller told me I got it but changed his mind and gave it to someone else.

Bummer, I hate it when that happens and won't do it myself. I recently bought a couple of laptops at a good price, after I'd agreed to buy them someone else offered me two for free. I could have rung the first guy and told him I'd changed my mind but a deal is a deal! They turned out to be pretty good, better than the free ones so I'm glad I did the right thing.

I'm the same way, I stick to my word even if it turns out to be to my disadvantage in the end. 

In this case a guy had offered to pick it up the same day, and I could only get a friend to do it for me next week, so I kinda understand.
