Just a word of caution, mid 60's singers are notorious for having problems especially the touch and sew lines. It was during this time period that Singer began putting plastic and nylon gears within their machines. Ive heard they had timing issues. If you can adjust your own timing and are not squeamish about repairs then get it. :-) i have a Singer Graduate (student sewing machine) and a Singer Fashionmate from this era. I like them.
