When it comes to the sewing; it's everything the posters above said. I especially like the simplicity of the machine and the fact that it's QUIET and has a quality sound totally unlike the new plastic junque.
We paid about $285.00 for ours and consider it worth it. Not sure we would have gone much higher though.

I could not agree more. When I saw several ladies at quilt camp use them and saw what an awesome little machine they were I had to have one. Well since then I have bought two and would not part with them. The ones I bought have all the original attachments and instruction manual. Both are from 1950 and one has a centennial stamp . I am so happy with the machines and I'm very happy to have found them the same week.
Lovely stitch, light weight, no hassle, a great piece of history and works every time machine. I have also learned to lubricate and oil my machines myself.
