That price seems a little high. My hubby surprised me with one a few weeks ago he found on eBay. He paid $218 with shipping. It came with all the original bobbins, manual, attachments and case. The machine is in beautiful condition and the best of all, when I looked up the serial number on it, it seems to have been manufactured with a lot on Nov. 22, 1946. It just so happens our anniversary is Nov. 22 (23 years later). It was meant to be and sews like a dream. Keep looking - there's a better riced one out there for you somewhere! When you do find one - please post a happy picture of you and your new friend.
