I have the same machine and still love it....DH surprised me with it one Christmas in the 80's. The only thing is the weight !...I actually hurt my back picking it up out of the front seat of the car and moving to the back seat,,taking it out and then up a few stairs to repair shop! That was over a year ago and still feel the effects of that.
Anyway I love that wavy stitch--#4.
I bought a Pfaff years later but it had no stitch like that one. The 930 really purrs. I was fortunate to have a cabinet also given at the same time..sure made sewing enjoyable all these years. I've thought of selling it but I still use it even though I've bought a couple of FWs, a Brother 1500 for quilting,,Pfaff 7550 and a Pfaff QE4.
The $50 for a 930 was a steal ...many people are paying well over $500 for them . I'm not sure why though if parts are hard to come by.
