. . . I'm not sure if all models have the same options or not and I won't really know until I get mine to see if mine actually comes with the cams. If I get all of these items I will post pics so everyone can see what I am trying to explain. I am very excited but wish I could find someone who is familiar with these.[/quote]
Well, of course I have one of these. (I seem to have one of everything.) Unfortunately, it's buried away somewhere in the basement, but if I come across it in the next few, I'll haul it back out again. (And put it on Ebay, if they're really going that high!)
I believe mine is a 21E. They're all metal; the casing of the machine itself is green aluminum. The model I have came with 3 cams. I know I have the cams, attachments, and manual. The case looks like a 50's suitcase and is lined in green plaid fabric. It is definitely one of the coolest cases I've ever seen.
I really haven't used mine, but do have to caution you on one thing: read the manual carefully before inserting or removing the cams, as they have a tendency to get stuck. Ask me how I now.
I am a Viking person, so I have several models, right up to a 15 year old Model 1 (computerized). That's where I stopped and started my obsession with vintage. I love the Vikings--the 6000 series is one of my all time favorite machines, except for that cracking cam stack thing! I've replaced one of those, and plan to never do so again!!
