Candace,
Thanks for the info.
Now I have another question. The pic of the one we're looking at does not show the swing cover on the top over the controls, but the logo Pfaff 230 is clearly visible.
But the photo in the owners manual I downloaded does show the raised cover. Is there two versions of the 230 or does this machine have a different top cover to it?
Also the add says the motor runs, but the needle didn't move up and down. Knowing GW as I do the stop motion knob is probably not tight, but is there any other reason for this that might be a cause to back away from it?
Here's the GW add we're watching:
