Do you have children or grandchildren that you want to teach? This is a great excuse to get it. I have bought 4 "old machines" in the last year and would like to get at least 2 more because I have 5 grandchildren right now (1 daughter - 1 son-in-law and they would like at least one more and yes this is the first marriage for both of them and yes these are all their children. My daughter tells me this is payback for being an only child - payback is good!! She must like children because she is a school teacher also). I would like to be able to teach them (and they will all want to learn as a team) when they come to visit.
