Oh no. It is not a bargain, but it is not unreasonable at all. Great machine. ZERO adjustments other than stitch length. There IS NO tension adjustments on those at all. And they are virtually silent.

The company that produced them for W&G used to make clocks, so their sense of "tolerances" was much finer than any other maker of the the day. They set the quality standard.

(P.S. This model was made from the 1870's until the late 1950's early 60's. Longest production run ever)
