Vintagemotif directed me to a FW advertised for $100 on Craigslist because the people that had the machine thought it was ruined - motor burned up. We went to look at the machine, my DH says buy it. I trusted DH's assessment and got it for $75. The only thing we had to do was buy a new foot pedal and cord! So yes, I got a FW for under $100! It sews perfectly!
