The Red eye may work great but I have seen cleaner ones.
She was asking $100, I offered $60, thinking she wouldn't take it.. LOL. fooled me.
I think I overpaid.
$100.00 is a good price for a piece of history. These machines changed the lives of many seamstresses and home sewers. I am proud to own one and can only hope that my machine (I have the sphinx on mine) will appreciate in value, both monetary and esthetic.
