so, I couldn't resist. I went to go look at it - and I left it behind. it "looks" nice, but it was very difficult to get anything to move on the machine. There was also some rust on the needle, probably not anything one of the talented people on this board couldn't fix, but I just didn't have the "burn" for this particular machine all that bad or the inclination to put a lot of time into it. glad I went to look, nonetheless!
