ply is stronger more resistant to damp and curves better than hardboard

I didn't know you could even buy Hardboard now.
What's it used for these days?
As a kid I remember my old man (an incorrigible DIY'er) dry-lining room after room with it in our old house and even building cupboards out of it.
I'm not sure Plywood even existed back in the early 1970's.

That is a beautiful Singer example SJ and a wonderful restoration job (I assume you had to restore the cabinet). We inherited a somewhat more utilitarian, and probably younger, version from my aunt; the base is a simple open format with drawers at the top. It is now with our daughter but I have to admit that the veneers have lifted in some places (corners) and it looks a bit the worse for wear. She likes it though and uses it as a general stand (until recently for an aquarium).
We still have the machine in the loft.
