Default Anyone know anything about this machine?

I was looking on Ebay last night and came across this machine. It's listed as a Brother 300 Deluxe Push Button ZZ machine. I Googled it but couldn't find any info at all.

If you know anything about this machine, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I know nothing about these machines, but it looks so clean. Did you see how clean the shutter/bobbin area seems to be? The few older machines I see are nearly always absolutely filthy - as having been stored-in-the-old-feed-barn for decades filthy.
-
My Pfaff 130, in a Singer 42 cabinet - had been turned face-to-the-wall for five years and used only as an end table. The couple had bought it five years before at a "barn sale." The machine was very dusty; the drawers had never been opened until I got it home. There was a mummified mouse lodged behind/under one of the drawers. Thankfully he did not live there long enough to chew the wiring.

Did you check out the FW he has for sale, and the bid is $51? And it is in Oregon and I am in DE. Oh, well.

Not sure what you want to know. It's a mid 50's 15 class zig zagger. It'll be a good one, but rare it's not. Well, you don't often see Brother machines of this era without the big fat reverse button, but other than that it's just another awesome Brother machine.

Looks like that auction ended with no bids. The seller has it listed again at $149.00 and free shipping. The same money as before, just arranged differently.

I forgot to add that since it's an end loader, it's most likely a left needle machine. Not the greatest for quilt piecing.
