328's will sew and they have a bright light! However, they have an internal belt to drive the lower linkage. This configuration makes them rattle and loud. This belt is in addition to the belt that runs from the motor to the hand wheel. The motor is also under-powered for the machine.

There are much better machines out there for the same or less money.

If it is green you want, look for a green Singer 185-K. It is the same as a Singer 99, only it is dressed in an updated body and painted a fresh minty green. They are sweet machines.
