I bought my Mocha 301A for $75 from a machine service man who worked on machines out of his mother's basement. The guy kept trying to purchase my Featherweight for his grand-daughter when he had a machine sitting on his shelf that probably would have been a good starter machine for her. I will never go back to him, but at the time he was the only one I could find and his father had serviced the machines of my aunts and grandmother.
