Not really. When I got the vintage machine bug, I kind of went overboard. I had no clue what was useful, good quality or what I would use. When this auction came up, the prices were so low that it was really easy to buy several, and I did. I think the average price ended up being about $9.00. This is the only one I have left. I parted out several T&Ss and sent them to T&T, sent some Kenmore parts to Cari, sent some machines to Leon and put a couple out on the curb. This one is pretty, though, and didn't seem to need much work, so I kept it.

Meanwhile, I've been using my 503, which I just switched out for a 401. I've decided that the hobby of vintage sewing machine restoration is not a good idea for someone with a torn rotator cuff. I still enjoy messing with them, but the good ones are really heavy.

So, all that to say, "No, I really haven't played with this machine very much".
