I paid $150 for mine but, it was from a dept store alteration dept that bought it brand new back in the 1950's, had every maint. receipt and check up record from every year. Original cabinet, manual and accessories. The dept had newer computer models when I bought this but the ladies said it was their go to machine for heavy duty and darning (fmq) The store closed and was selling their inventory. The two alteration ladies were retiring after many years and got to pick the machines they wanted. They each picked one of the newer machines to keep. The Singer repairman that was still in business at the time was mad as wet hen when he found out I bought the machine and he wasn't asked first. He had the original manual for it and he actually threw it to me when I went to his shop to ask for it. He retired soon afterwards.
