Anything else I should know? I will find out Thurs. if there are any cams with it. Lots of feet though! Are the cams easily available?
Thanks,

It takes the Class 66 bobbins and the 15x1 needles so everything is really easy to find and you can get them for cheap! The cams for the machine are easy to find because they are interchangeable between the 400, 500 and 600 series machines. There is however one cam in the 600 series that will not work, it swings the needle past the hole in the needle plate. I can not remember for the life of me which one it is but it is one of the lesser popular ones to have. So if you find the 600 series cams just check the swing by running the machine though a cycle with you just turning the handwheel by your hand slowly.
