No way. I recently gave away one of my machines to someone who needed one. Yesterday, on eBay, I purchased the same vintage machine, new in box, for $47. It will probably need servicing after being in a box for years, but I have a great service guy who specializes in vintage machines. I had three identical machines, one the feed dogs won't stay up. The other two were in great working order so I gave one away. But history has proved that I should not loan my machines (especially if I like them).
