I agree with Dolphyn about the SE270D. My husband bought one for me about 15 years ago, I think he paid $300. The D stands for Disney; the machine came pre-loaded with licensed Disney embroidery designs.
FYI. That 270 is not really a repairable machine. Years ago I took it in to get the light bulb changed because I couldn't figure out how to do it myself. The tech told me it's hard-wired into the machine and not replaceable. He said that machine was basically considered "disposable". Then about 5 months ago, I took it to a different tech because the handwheel had become very stiff to turn. The tech, bless his heart, an older retired guy who can't sit still and loves to repair stuff, took it apart and said it's really not repairable. Many parts were not available for him to purchase, and most were installed in a way that required destroying the machine just to replace them. So I guess the first tech was right about it being disposable.
