Ok, new to this thread and didn't read all responses yet! I have an industrial 8700 and a Pfaff that I love love love! I also have (on display, none functioning) a Necci, Singer 206k, 301a, and one from a treadle that was given to me. Wood on the cabinet was destroyed. I have an Atlas, a Federal and a pretty little "Standard" hand crank. Well, I guess that one *is* functional, but the cords were cut off before I got it! The 206 was my maternal Grandmother's, and it probably does work, but I retired it anyway. I found out today that the one from the treadle was my paternal Great-Grandmother's!
