The 403 is probably my all time favorite sewing machine. I sell them for $135 - $150 depending on the kit. (some are asking a lot more.) This is cleaned and running right. They need a full set of the top hat disks - they are the same as the Singer 400, 500 and 600 series. The 403s usually don't have as much wrong with them as the 401 but there isn't as much to go wrong. Manuals are available on line for free - parts are available - I love it.
