Monica; I have one tht I paid almost $300 for at an estate auction. Was bidding against a guy who buys, then refurbs and then sells the vinatge machines at a higher price. DH totally understood, NOT!!
, why I wanted that machine but he let me go for it. I love it but it is heavy. The stitches are fun to play with but am pretty sure I need to do something with the motor because ocasionally I see a spark when I'm sewing.

Edited to add: I agree with Miriam, the bobbins are a b**** to load and kitty quilt inspectors also don't help matters much.
