I got one for Christmas. Rusty as heck, the slide plate missing, and bobbin rusted in place, but it cleaned up better than I thought. I borrowed the slide plate off my 237 and sewed a little with it, but haven't had much chance to play with it. Can you scan the manual? I cannot find one anywhere. It seems like a fairly strong machine, with an industrial look to it, to me anyway.
