I wouldn't mind finding a 60, 70 or 80s machine; either Singer, Brother or MW or any of the "clone" brands.
Garage sales are so iffy in my area. I've been watching my CL and stopping at garage sales. I am waiting on my local repairman to call me about a couple in his shop. I may drop by again to see what he has.
