I am fond of this model Singer. In fact, I have acquired five of them (four were keepers) - one is at my daughter's, one at my granddaughter's, one in Florida, and one is at my home in Florida.
The fifth one supposedly "worked" - but one of the setting handles was broken (a screw driver worked - but was inconvenient) and the needle position was off to the right. I gave that one away.
Two of them needed to have the bobbin winder "tire" replaced, but that is a minor thing.
It is a very straight-forward machine and relatively "idiot-proof."
