wow, such good advice. Remember how many hours, literally, it took me to get my 401 working. Thanks to you all who helped me. And I hear about the lucky folks who find Featherweights for practically nothing while it took me again, not to overuse the word, but "literally" years of many a garage sale, estate sale and flea market between here and Atlanta to even see one in person and I paid about $150 if I remember, with no attachments, and no case, but did have a bobbin case and I was thrilled at that. You are right, Miriam, price doesn't matter if you really want them - as long as the budget allows!!
