I won! I won! I won!
I asked some advice from Billy (Lostn51) and smartly took it and bid on this machine. It's pink, and looks clean as a whistle. I'm so excited. I paid for it, and now have to wait for it to arrive. I think I did well too. $41.27. (Plus $38 for shipping, LOL)
Thanks, Billy! I was drawn to the color and the styling, but it also looks like a workhorse, which is what I want. Fabulous and pink. What could be better?
Yeah!!

I don't think it's bad to look at color. It caught my eye. I was also looking at a Singer, I think 403? Slantmatic, which was kind of a yucky tan. I like Pink better, but I also looked at a turquoise machine, and a couple of green ones.
I think the guts are most important, but if you can get what you want in a pretty package- what's the harm? Billy gave the thumbs up to several I was looking at. The other was a Brother zig-zag on ebay that is black and pink. (Even more fabulous in its styling) which I think ends tomorrow. Lots of good buys for the 50's/60's machines.

These are a few that look like solid machines and are in the turquoise range. I'd check with Billy, and get an opinion before bidding- he gave me some sound advice on one that was good, but they wanted too much, so it's good to have an opinion by someone familiar.
