I didn't walk away from one and now I have a machine in my dressing room, so it's almost in the bathroom. It is being rehomed when its new owners pick it up. At least I saved her. She will be displayed at the local LQS that sells Janomes - she is an 1895 New Home, which is Janome's predecssor.
You are wise to have walked away so you don't end up where I am.
