I have one - I love it! If you need a manual it's easy to get - Singer has all the old White ones on their website. That's how I got mine. My cabinet looked really bad on the top but cleaned right up with Pledge Refinishing Oil - I didn't even need to refinish the cabinet. Belts are easy to replace and I didn't have a problem getting bobbins. All I need to do now is work on my foot work! If its calling your name - it must be the one for you!
