I've never sewn on a slant needle machine...anything to look for, etc?
For that price get it!! I never used my 500A for anything yet other than setting up my tensions when I serviced it so I reall do not know much about them. But I have heard wonderful things about the slant shanks and you really can not go wrong with one!!

This is how the ad reads. (It has 2 pics of the machine and attachments and even has the instruction booklet! )
"1958 Singer 404 slant needle machine, very clean and in excellent working condition. Beautiful stitching.
Accessories include not only zipper foot, but a gathering foot, a ruffler, a bias binding foot. Drop-in bobbins.
All metal parts. "
So I guess I"m gonna email them and ask if we can come see it this weekend! :)
