I found a 403A a couple weeks ago with the original cabinet for $60. It was a bit scuffed up but with some oiling in runs like a champ. Just not sure I really need another bigger machine. My wish list is really for two 1964 Featherweights to give to my granddaughters. I have my own that I got when I was 11, which will go to my oldest granddaughter. Now I really need to find two more. Those are really what I want.
Stick with the 403 - it is a very nice machine - it's my go to machine - less to go wrong than a Singer 500
