Can't seem to get picture attached. Went to an estate sale and they have a Vicking sewing machine in working order for $75. Its old. Color green. Says Haskvona or something on it. Made in Sweeden. Lady is holding it for me. Is it worth it????

Well I guess I got the pic........just wrong thread!!!!
Perhaps Husqvarna..................not a collector, but several here are. They'll hop on and let you know, but I'd say YES!
Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!!
If it works I'd pay $75 for it!
Rescued is my favorite breed.
Well, I bought it. The estate lady said she would have bought it if she had the room for it. Sews beautifully! Its so heavy!!!! It is in excellant shape. No scratches or anything. The metal labels say"Husqvarna Vapenlabriks AB Sweden. .....if anyone is interested.
By the way, how do you start a new thread in diff catagories? I cannot figure it out!!!! Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
They are usually 90 degrees.

Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
A very good deal at $75! I believe this is a Husqvarna Viking Class 33 - 10 machine. Hopefully you also got a manual and small green metal box with accessories? If not there are antique sewing machine manuals available for sale online. I think (not sure) this is an industrial grade machine, very heavy duty. It should sew forever with proper maintenance. Be sure to follow the oiling guidelines very carefully! I think this model was made in the late 40s to 60s before they switched to oilless engineerying.
You are right. I just did some internet searching and mine is the 33-10 industrial. Sadly no I did not get any accessories or manual. Will have to search for that. I seen one on e-bay in poor shape going for $350. After the reviews I seen, I won't want to sell it. I think its going to serve me well for quilting. Very heavy duty.
Thankyou for the info!
Guess what???? I called the lady from the estate sale and she found the book, the little green tin and some other feet. She just dropped it off! I am so happy!!!!!!
