ROFL!!!! When that happens, we should pop open a bottle of bubbly and
toast the insanity of it all!

Am always gobsmacked by what sellers call "Industrial Strength" on eBay
and other places.

Vintage machines by Elna, Pfaff, Kenmore, Janome and the like are all
most always billed as "all metal parts.... industrial strength", and so
forth.

Only slightly less irritating are those selling what are true industrial
machines, but do not disclose if the machine is head only. For those
that know about these things this is not a problem, but sadly too many
naïf spend good money on a machine, only to have it arrive and find out
it needs to be mounted on a table and requires a motor.

OTHO, if someone would mis-label a vintage Singer hemstitch machine so
one could nab it at a decent price, I'd be much obliged! *LOL*

Your machine is indeed an industrial compound feed walking foot machine

I hope so. I paid the outrageous price of $250 with the base and
everything.

You probably got a good deal. A recon head alone can go for twice that.
