I am late to this, but there is a Singer 600 on c/l in my area, in the cabinet for 60 dollars. Says it works, has attachments, and manuals. he says this was the last model to have all metal gears.
Sounds like a good deal . . . But, I just spent $20 on the 248 (which I still haven't gotten the tension correct) and I am BROKE! lol . .
thoughts?
