OK, I don't remember who the enabler was, but I bit. Bought the two-spools that is in Traverse City. The lady is very kind and gave me some history. Her grandmother passed a couple of years ago at the age of 96. She sewed on this machine right up til the end. Was the original owner. She was a Type A, so the machine and cabinet, along with original manual and all the attachments are mint, I am told. I will not get it until mid August, it is several hours drive so will get it when I am planning a trip there for a confrence in mid August. I am very excited. Will name it "Ortha" after the DGM. I've gotten quite a collection going here. My DH started out thinking I was nuts, now he helps me and when a friend of his visited yesterday just before he left DH asked if I was going to show him some of my machines. He followed us around and if I forgot something, he filled in the details. LOL
