    Yes, I'd say it's a mid-arm. It looks longer than 11". And by all means be sure it works and get everything tha tgoes with it. Sounds like a decent deal.

    Good luck. Tacsew (Tacony Corp.) is generally an industrial model. I would ask for the model number if you haven't already, history of problems with the machine, dealer location, etc. I wish you the best of luck.

    Also I love your house.

    Price sounds high for that machine I would test drive it before making my decision

    I found another machine and frame that may work better for me. It's only $1000 and newer (sort of). Take a look, I made a new post for input -

    Good luck to you Peggy no matter which one you go with! I think the one seller allowing payments is "one-of-a-king" and a blessing at the least! You won't find many people that accepts payments! Keep us posted as to which one you buy! Oh, and your house is totally beautiful!! :)

    Hope it all works out for you Peggy and I echo the others when I say what a beautiful home! I love the wrap around porch it would be so great to sit out on it in the evenings.

    I'd also test drive it for sure especially if its an older model. if there are issues with it while your making payments who is on the hook for the repairs? I'd ask her if there were any problems with the machine in the past, maybe get her to put it in writing?
