I bought both of mine locally, for $20 many years ago, and $50 a couple years ago. I think if you look around, you will be able to find one easily in that range. What part of Illinois are you in? In case I would find one. They are great machines, my work horses. FMQ is great, the feed dogs drop. My dh cleans oils and takes care of mine (I could, but apparently he does it better than me).LOL. I know you can go on line for anything you need as far as repairs etc to get more info. They are great machines, but really 50-75 is plenty for an old machine. ( I say that but I love mine to pieces)
