I'm also madly in love with these machines, so I'm trying to find one myself that's reasonably priced. Still no luck, but I have hope! I've recently decided I want a couple of the vintage machines, so I'm trolling all the CL ads and garage sales to find one ...
Last night I saw a Touch & Sew on CL for FREE and tried to get it but I never got a response and the ad is gone today, so I'm guessing either the owner realized it was worth more than they thought, or someone snatched it before me. I'm sort of sad about it, but I have hope I'll be able to find one of them as well. :-)
