They are certainly out there!! I had a nice little 1970's Kenmore given to me and she runs like a top and goes through anything! I love to have a machine to take along on trips that is small and portable. I have a Singer 99 that I found at a re-run shop for 35.00 in a lovely cabinet. I know they are at garage sales, ect. Good luck searching, it's more than half the fun!!
