Dash it Chris, I've been very quietly watching that, wondering if I can justify a round trip for it! Now you've let the cat out of the bag 

Please somebody put a bid on it that makes me forget about it. I have 4 industrials already sitting in storage, including two 45Ks.

It's a 45K89, last of the line for real Kilbowie-made 45Ks that I think came out in the 1960s. Jump foot drop feed and a reverse that had to manually be matched to the stitch length in the time where Adler had been making needle or triple-feed 105s with reverse as standard for years. A bargain if it goes for something like the opening price and it'll last a lifetime of use but frankly it was obsolescent when it was new 50 years ago.
