Singer 7-31?

[Rodzhobyz]

Tonight my BIL showed me a pic of what looks to be a 7-31 that is in storage where he works. It looks in need of a good cleaning / service, but he said it was definitely operable when it was placed in the storage container a yr or so ago. 

 I'm not familiar with the machine but after a little web searching, it seems to be a harness type machine that nets a pretty hefty resale price. 

  When I asked, he said they would absolutely sell off anything in that storage unit & likely for whatever price would get it gone. 

While Im not in need of another harness machine myself, I wouldn't want to pass up an opportunity to own a good machine especially if it can be had for $50-$100.  

 I'm hoping somebody can school me a little as to the potential value of it or help me avoid paying for and lugging an undesirable boat anchor home and wasting time with it. 

Id be obliged if anyone that's familiar with it cares to offer any input. 

Thanks, Roger.

Thanks, but I was desperate & already searching for info in the archives here, YouTube and everywhere else I could stumble across any little bit of information on the machine , including asking questions, as I only had until this morning to decide whether or not to make an offer on the machine. 

Cheers, Roger

I would not hesitate to get that machine if you can indeed buy it for $50-100. I see Singer class 7 machines for sale in the range of $1200-1600. Much depends on condition and completeness of this particular machine though. I think this could be an opportunity to have another heavy duty machine or make a profit to help support your hobby.
