That is a great find. I was looking for a machine that was easier transportable to my quilt guild. I had been searching at the local thrift stores and garage sales. After several months, I found a old Seammaster by Simplicity, from the 60's for $17. It was in a carrying case and looked very clean. I got it home and cleaned and oiled it and it sews like a dream. I love it. I also had a Kenmore machine in a cabinet in the basement that went through a flood and damp conditions for several years. The handwheel would turn barely, but the needle did not move. So my husband and I got to working with it and oiling it. We had to take the handwheel off and very gently turn the mechanism with large pliers, after working with it for a little while we got it going. I went from my one new machine that is very heavy to 3 machines. I just love it and they have a beautiful stitch.
