I bought a Singer 401A! This is the model I learned to sew on when I was very young. When I was in my 30's my mom traded it in on a fancy new machine, and I was heartbroken. I loved that Singer. It needs work, and it doesn't have any accessories but that can be fixed. I feel like a kid again lol. Then today I went to a quilting rummage sale with another board member and bought a couple dozen magazines, 3 books and several yards of fabric for about $12! I am a happy camper.
