I think I have stumbled across a cb4500 special edition but I'm not sure and it is missing everything so my question is it worth buying and piecing together the rest of the parts this is all that is there

Guess it depends how much they are asking - if they want $300 it is a steal, but if they want $2500, not so good....somewhere in between is probably what it is worth

They want $600 for it but I may be able to talk them down but the machine is missing everything. How hard would it be and cost effective to get the rest of the pieces to make this useable

I would call Toledo Bob or Solar Leather and talk with them about what is missing and how much it will cost to get it running.  A new CB4500 will run $2000+ so you might be able to get a running unit for much less.  They are listed in the ads up top of the page.

Other than the handwheel what’s missing off the head? 

Edit: If you basically have a head minus handwheel it’s still worth $1000....replacement handwheel is something close to $200.   More than one person here would buy a working 4500 head for $1500.

No motors no table no wheel no belts nothing all that is there is it I'm completely new to this and don't want to dive in a spend more than I need to but a bargain is a bargain even if I turn around and re sell it it looks like it's never been used other than it has the simple leather still attached

If that's ALL that's missing it's no big deal, motors and belts are readily available and you can probably buy the correct table for it (or make your own or modify a used table if you can find one). If you want to make it "original" then you should be able to buy all these bits from one of the vendors on here - but you'll have to find out the cost first to see just how much of a "bargain" you end up with.

Mark, I must admit it does seem a bit odd.

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

This place sells damaged goods so like when a freight truck gets wrecked they buy it from the insurance and sell the product this however moves freely but the box was opened and everything out side of the foam the where all the parts are supposed to be are missing
