I do not want to become a machine collector. I'd like to have a few special ones, but not more than 6 to 8, and I already have 14 or 15. I still don't have a 15-91, a featherweight, a pink 15 clone, etc.
My two Kenmores are those German ones. One is missing a needle plate, controller and cord. A guy on Ebay wanted $35.00 for a controller. I think I paid $20.00 or so for the machine. Maybe one of those Kenmores is one of those special machines, but I don't need two of them.
I'm retiring in the not too distant future, so maybe I should wait before I get into that bulk group I bought at auction. I do want to get rid of that 66. I want to put one of my keeper machines into that cabinet. The 66 is supposed to work, but it's mega ugly. Maybe I should post it on CL. But who's to say if I sell it cheap, someone else won't just buy it and part it out? It's ugly, but it has a great faceplate.
