Great find congratulations. I have been thinking of investing in one of these little beauties myself. I have been checking thrift stores for a while, but nothing even sewing related where I live so far. Today hubby and I went to lunch at a favorite spot in a small town north of us, kind of famous for its little antique and collectible shops. We decided to stop in a shop that we used to frequent on the way home. I walked in and quickly spotted a familiar black box, in rather tattered shape. I opened it up to a familiar musty smell to find a forgotten little beauty inside. Sadly, the owner was firm at $325, and the sweet thing needs lots of TLC so I passed. You got a bargin, and it will purr again with TLC.
