Oh, don't give up is the best advice I can give... I found a frame in a second hand store maybe 10 years ago, hesitated to buy it because of my situation... went back a couple days later ,.. of course it was gone!!!!!! years later.( last year).. found another one in the original box at the Goodwill outlet ( who knew they needed one?) only 4.95! I didn't hesitate this time! I still don't have the room, but My sweet husband promises the next house will. Keep checking out the thrifty stores, craigs list, ebay, amazon, the message board at LQS, heck, maybe post it on Craigs list, there may be some one's unhappy spouse looking to 'get even' okay, I know that sounds bad... I traded a pocket repair for a Necchi that way .... don't judge... it's recycling..
