without seeing a picture its hard to say. My older machine with the domed wood cover I found in an antique store with accessories-beautiful decals and uses the tunnel bobbin (I call it torpedo bobbin) has one very tiny piece missing on the front I picked up for 35.00 they were asking 50.00. It is a beautiful show piece in my sewing area. I decided just to let it be as a beautiful piece to look at. I'm a Featherweight person and use mine a lot.
If you like it and you feel its good - then treat yourself! Don't wait too long you might be sorry. Ask for a lower price and see if they are workable.
