He is asking 100, for it; way too expensive for me. Any thoughts or comments on this and these machines.

I brought home a Singer 404 today. It needs a LOT of clean up. The tension is solid rust and so is the bobbin area. I do have a 404 donor machine though so I think I can get it working. It does turn. Those 404s are totally under estimated these days. They are a really good machine for learning on. They have a drop in bobbin - no case to lose. The needle threads front to back (less chance of threading it wrong) The needle slants so you can see what you are doing - the light has a lens focused right on the needle. DGD has a 7th Birthday on the 3rd.... We shall see if DD will let DGD have my machine of choice for a 7 year old...

O.K..... I need a moment of silence..... I found a Penguin in the wild today. With a box in great condition and original instructions. OMG, OMG, OMG.
I'm pretty sure I'll be listing it on ebay as I need the money and don't ever plan on having a featherweight.
I'm very excited over my find!!
