I agree with this. I just picked up a 1950 model 15-91 in a cabinet with all the attachment for 50.00 in really good condition. I also recently picked up a 1948 66-16 for 30.00 but the cabinet was a little rough and the machine needed rewiring. I would also make sure you look at the wiring. A lot of the older machines need rewired they have cracked cords with exposed wires. My dh rewired my 66-16 for me.
