I had the Memory Craft 6000 New Home/Janome from the 80's. It was great! I am sad that I parted with it. They are an excellent machine and could sew anything.
If you don't need the machine it is not worth spending money. If you do need a good basic machine GO GET IT! (after you have tried it out first - take fabric and items you would be using it for to make sure it works well)
