I been busy.
Here are four more I added to the herd.
First and foremost is a Necchi BU Supernova Automatica, a model I've wanted for a while. It's as smooth and powerful as you'd expect. What a wonderful machine. I really like the Necchi cabinet it's in, too.

The seller had a White 765 that he wanted gone, so he threw it in for free. It's in a very rickety Singer table that has been 'artfully' spray painted and faux-finished, adding to the machine's allure and value, no doubt. (Glad I bought that heat gun.) This is my second 765 -- I can't turn down a free, neglected, wonderful machine.

Next up is a Kenmore 1813. In another thread, I had written that buying a machine with a missing knob is an unknown: you might find a replacement the next day or you might wait 10 years. Depending on the machine, you might be better off buying a different machine than trying to find that knob and perhaps paying far more for it than the machine itself. This machine's in great shape save for the missing stitch selector knob (but just the part you turn -- the rest of it's still in the machine). This knob is common to several Kenmores and I found it on eBay a few days after purchasing the machine. $10 machine, $5 knob -- not too bad a deal, imho. It should be a very straightforward fix. Nice cabinet, too.

Finally, another Singer 301A that I purchased a couple of weeks ago for $20 from a CL seller. In great shape:
