If you are lucky enough to find one of these for under $100.00 you have hit the jackpot and managed to find someone selling one who doesn't know the true value of what they have. So many people just want "New". They have no idea of what kind of quality they are getting or what a great old machine this is. It is just old to them. You can even do your own maintenance on these with very little instruction. Try doing that with one of the new computerized machines.
I was lucky enough to find an old white featherweight years ago for $30.00. I asked the girl why she was selling and she said because she wanted a new machine with fancy stitches. I knew then that it was worth much more than what she wanted for it. I bought it and value it for the great little machine it is. Ann in Tn
