Glad you are getting it- I'd been Hoping you would! I just got a good deal on a white 221- $150 with case, picking it up tomorrow am. Some paint loss on the front edge, but the case looks good. They go for $350 plus here (upstate NY). And I'm getting a 3 drawer Howe treadle base this weekend- no machine, but I'm saving it from being made into a table! Don't know if it has the bobbin winder.
