there is a vintage one on that auction site, not cheap, but authentic. The chinese ones, are cheap enough and get you going till you locate a golden oldie.

I'm pretty sure I've got slip on feet that fit National (along with White, New Home, and several others). Interesting thing is that they are all a bit different - either in diameter of presser bar of location of needle hole.
The majority of these sets have one foot that goes on the machine, and the others clip into it - some even the tucker and ruffle clip in, others the tucker is bed mount and the ruffler attaches separately.
With most of these, if you get the right top clamp assembly that will fit on the machine, you can then use the regular top clamp feet with it. I can swap this out on my White and New Home machines that didn't come with it, and both styles of feet work on both machines.
I even have a few sets that come with their own top mount style clamp so you can put it on the machine and use the other style feet.

I was going through my paperwork - and I don't have the National specs on the presser bar written down- guess I didn't get that far before running out of time for the day. I also don't have pictures of my slip on feet yet. I'll see about working on that this weekend. We don't have any Holiday plans, will just make a nice meal for the two of us and then play with sewing machines and quilting the rest of the time.

I have heard such conflicting reports on the repros.....I guess one either hates them or loves them? Anyone able to share pros and cons if you own one?

Macybaby (aka Attachment Guru) So here are pics from New National, or New home type 4? 14? something, attachments that I scored, but what am I missing to be able to put them on the machine
[ATTACH=CONFIG]472318[/ATTACH] the attachments have a teeny tiny hole (plus or minus a bit) way to small for the adapter on a later New Home [ATTACH=CONFIG]472320[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472321[/ATTACH]
What adapter fits these?? hmmmm.... thanks for the upteenth time, "I know what I know, but I don't know a heck of a lot"
