Thanks Kathy. It's good to be back. I have fun with the attachments on my machines. Buttonholers are especially fun to watch though I have yet to use one to actually make a real button hole.
Macybaby can tell you just how much fun and addictive old attachments can be. I'm not trying to talk you out of getting a zigzag attachment, it's just that a machine built to do zigzag sewing will produce better results more easily.
Markets vary on old machines. Where I am thrift stores have lower prices in general than most Craig's List ads. I get my $10 machines from the thrifts. I have a couple favorite stops in town that have produced many of my machines and attachments. They usually need a good cleaning and some minor work to run well again but then many Craig's List machines are the same.
