Hey Pataskala, I am in Marion and I found my 301 at a garage sale for $20.00. It was an estate sale. It came with the cabinet, the matching stool, and all the accessories. I found my 99 at a Flea Market in North Carolina for $44.00. You may have to clean them up a bit and they all need OIL/lubricant when you get them because they have probably been neglected for some time. But they are out there and when you see one, the light just glows around them and you hear music (just joking on that part). My husband is also getting really good at spotting them (rolls his eyes when I say, YES! we are taking it) and is really good at helping me with some of the re-wiring of a pedal or waxing the wood. I just love my older ones (I do have 2 modern ones) but for the piecing of the quilts, the older ones purr when they sew.
