:-) I doubt it...
The real crime is those who buy sewing machines with pedestals and
treadles, throw away the sewing machine and turn the pedestal into an
olde worlde iron framed coffee table. I am told by a friend in the
trade that this is v. common.

There was a system/36 that was the size of a desk pedestal but I never
saw that particular variant. The system/32 (and possibly the s/38?) had
a desk built into _it_...

Yes.
