I've only seen about 7 vintage machines at GoodWill- none with cords, attachments, or bobbin cases. Someone mentioned the bits are sometimes separated accidentally and therefore pitched out! Another person said there might be some sort of liability for selling something with iffy cords so they pitched them. I haven't craved any machine enough to pay $50 for an incomplete machine. They don't sell- they are pitched. Poor machines don't have a chance around here.
