Craigslist is the greatest. I found a Bernina Artista 200 (2004 machine) there last year. So, my 1975 Bernina 830 (a real work horse) became my backup. Then, I found two vintage Singers on CL. One is a 1926-1928 machine and the other I haven't done too much research on. Both came with all of the attachments. Last week I found a Singer 15-91, probably purchased in 1952. Essentually, I got it from the original owner. This lady kept it in pristine condition. The manual looks brand new. All three of these Singers have different unique cabinets. The day after I bought the 15-91 my sweet daughter-in-law came to visit. I took her to my quilt guild meeting and she got caught by the quilting bug. (it's going around ya know!). So, Sew, I sent her home with one of the old Singers and its cabinet. She is so thrilled and very excited to get started sewing on "her" machine!!! I have been considering a Juki TL-98 QE but that will be in the future. Linda in Washington
