Just as an update, I did look at the Domestic. It's in good shape, but is missing the belt (no biggie). While turning the wheel, there are a couple of parts that seems to stick a little (hoping that it's just some old gummy grease). There were two shuttles, 3 needles, probably 8 or 9 feet, and 4 or 5 bobbins. From what I could tell, it seemed to be in decent shape, and had plenty of accessories. It's a beautiful machine, but with the limitations with the needles, I'm not sure. She did say I could have it for $75. Do I take the plunge with this machine?
