I thought Vintage meant old not cheap.

Unfortunately Singer confused the issue themselves when they authorized these machines to be made. I think they were jumping on the nostalgia band wagon to cash in on the name. The problem is they went for the image without the substance and neglected the quality that made them great to begin with. Another case of "How cheap can we make this?" Instead of "How well can we make this?".
15 clones are still being produced. If you have the money for the minimum order you can buy brand new ones for about $25 a machine.

Nice cabinet, one I've never seen before. The price is out of this world though.

Singer 20-10, and it even has the original box

On the repros...there are always going to be people that firmly believe that new = better and will not be budged from that opinion.
Christine- that tractor makes me wonder if he's getting hate messages from sewing machine collectors (since he said he made it himself).

Christine- I usually see that cabinet on slightly older machines than that. I have one that came with my 401A. They're nice examples of mid-century modern furniture and appear to be well made. I don't know if that one is original to the machine or not.
