A rather lovely Alfa and a pair of ornate earlier machines!

Ooh, nice!

I must be mad, that's not the one I'm bidding on...

There's a lot of elbow grease needed there Roger but well worth it they are gorgeous. I wish I knew where auctions like that were around here, well I don't really or I'd have to buy a bigger house 0_0

The Alfa didn't sell, those did and I bought... a unique fixer upper...
Yeah a jones Taiwan model that feels cheap and an aluminium 201 that may have been stored forever.
I also fell for a 319k bargain
Auctions are lethal.. I can't resist a look!
Let's hope I haven't made an mistake.

Beautiful machines Roger!
I have an aluminium 201k, and it's lovely, the 319k also sounds interesting. What plans do you have for the Jones Taiwan?
I've just bought a cabinet with an Alpha in it. It doesn't look as nice as the one in your picture though :), good job I didn't want the machine! Gumtree I think.....
It would be fatal if I had access to an auction house, I would re-home the lot :)

The jones from Taiwan is a shocking looking machine, very plastic! I think it'll be donated or straight to the tip.
The 319k is supposed to be a very good machine, but this one is in a very dusty condition... it's beautiful mint green though, with the motor, cable, and pedal. Some rust in the under carriage tho...
The 201... shocking condition but the decals look good, thick dust cobwebs worn needle plates, but it turns freely, might have some rust on the hand wheel.
Pics to follow when I get the machines
