Each under $75, but I need to stop peeking at Craigslist. Managed to wean myself off EBay last year. I've kept them from being trashed or parted out, but now their current fate is to just sit in the guest room that no one can stay in. Wish we could have a big swap meet. Imagine the machines that would find good homes!
I commiserate with you! Every time I make firm rules about what I will bring home or not, another one slips by the rules! The reason to keep "looking" is that there are still machines I would happily buy for my own collection, but I will see others that beg to come home and be repaired while out looking. If it's not something I am out to find for my own collection I am committed to keeping the $$ down. 75.00 would be far too much to spend for those.
