I bought mine at a yard sale for $40. The machine head is the same, but the cabinet is different. The entire top lifts off so the machine can tilt up. The machine sews beautifully - only one issue - there is a rubber 'wheel' on the back that 'runs' the machine and it has 'dents' in it from being stored in one position with pressure on it. I need to find some new ones so it doesn't make a funny noise when it hits those spots. I just couldn't leave it behind. I wish mine had a stool/bench, but the cabinet is in very good shape and looks like a piece of furniture in my entry way into the family room.
