Many of them are, "Untested, pedal missing, for parts only"....this tells me that they don't work but the seller does not want to admit it. Even these machines sell, so are they easy to fix? Parts available?
No idea whether those ones will fix. The machine I found had a frozen needle bar and no cords to test with. The machine itself looked clean so I took a chance. I was able to bargain it down to 5.00. At that price, there was really no risk for me. Controllers and cords for these can be pretty expensive unless you get lucky or are willing to wait for the right buy.
