I currently own 14 machines, I just can't help myself. Most came from auctions but I also inherited a machine from both of my grandmothers.
I bought a White treadlemachine in a nice cabinet at auction for $2.50 it even has it's leather belt and in one of the drawers there were two singer buttonhole attachments.
I also bought a beautiful old singer at auction for $10.
There are great bargains to be found.
