Oh yes, that too! Bought a 227 a few months ago, and the old lady who'd owned it (and had died) was a professional dressmaker. There were NO accessories or attachments and the machine's a straight sewer. It just seemed obvious her kids had thrown everything away when she died. Missing slide plates are a complete mystery: My local shop keeps them though, so it's a 'thing' (lucky, my first 66 was missing one). People taking them off and throwing them away seems extra crazy, considering how hard it is to get a 66 plate off (when you've never done it before).
