Default Blue General Deluxe sewing machine

I was just at the Apache Junction, AZ Goodwill and they have what looks like a Singer clone in a sewing cabinet(poor condititon on the cabinet). It is a light blue and says General on the top and Deluxe on the plate area. I didn't think to take a picture with my phone as I so seldom use my phone for picture taking. They also have a vintage Kenmore portable.
In case anyone would be interested.

I believe it was 30.00 to 35.00 which I thought was high but they are having a 50 percent off sale on the 19th that would make it more affordable.

Default update with pictures

I went back to the Goodwill today and the two machines I mentioned are still there so I took pictures. There was also a vintage Singer. My Goodwill seems high on some stuff and all three machines are 39.99 each. but they are having a 50 percent off sale this Saturday.

OOOH the blue machine is pretty! Too bad I'm in Texas. (
All the Good Will stores here only have junk machines at high prices.

I don't recall it saying Touch and Sew on it. I bought a 758 Touch and Sew from this Goodwill last summer and I think this may be a little older than mine or perhaps a higher end machine than the one I bought as there are a couple switches that mine does not have.

They all actually look great! That Singer may be too far into the 1970s and have plastic gears...if so, its a No Go!!
