Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The only way to find one is to advertise, ebay, and/or craigslist. A post by miriam said not to buy plastic parts which is very important. These machines do have plastic cams and otherwise all metal but I have not had a problem with mine. This machine will sew lighter fabrics and I can't imagine having to pay over $300.00. The really good older machines are starting to go up in value because of all the new plastic, computerized, expensive machines they sell today. PatternReview.com gives many reviews for older machines without becoming a member. Have you thought about those new metal home sewing machines that are sort of industrial that sell for about $800.00? Can't think of the name right now but many quilters love and use them.
