It happens though. I just went and picked one up tonight for $75 as well.

Needed the foot controller adjusted (ran on its own and made fizzing noises), needs a bobbin winder part (the one on the bed), a belt and feet for the bed. All in all, about $20 in parts, so under $100 once it's complete,and I consider belts and feet to be a given when buying a featherweight, so the only surprising part is the bobbin winder part.

t came with most of the presser feet it should have, the bobbin case and the manual, as well as the original cardboard that sits under the machine, allegedly to protect the feet, but these ones were goo anyway.

I also picked one up last summer for $95, similar condition. The only thing I find is that in this price range, the case is usually rough (hinges cut off, etc)
