That is so cool. If mine ever gives me trouble, I'll know who to ask.
I've been doing some reading about the 237 MA and apparently it's considered a good machine. So far, so good.
I often wonder about the previous owner(s) of the machines I buy. Besides attachments, I sometimes find personal artifacts in the cases or tables and these items can be intriguing. Often the seller will indicate that the person who owned it was a mother or MIL who passed away and that they just don't need or want it. It saddens me a little and causes me to treat the machine with more respect than just a nice piece of machinery.
