check your local good will . uaually they are older machines but if they work . infact my fw was born 1946 i love it. Good will will let you try the machine before you buy it and they do have a return policy. I just bought a singer 301 for $8.39 not what your looking for but I wanted it. good luck. also post a not at grocery store most all of them have a some kinda of wanted or for sale board .
