Muv, thanks for the info on the script!! (I've also enjoyed looking around your website and picking up useful information there.)
Caroline, I would have been a nervous wreck during the auction too! Luckily, I found my machine on craig's list and didn't have to go through that, but I did have to wait a couple of weeks to pick up my machine and the lady had promised to hold it for me, which she did.
I told my hubby as soon as I saw the listing for the machine that I would be stupid not to buy the machine for $75. (It even came with a cabinet, but it's a later version so all I was really interested in was the machine head.) I thought it was a great find from the start, and now I know it was.
