WOW, no deals like that where I live. Wish you had posted a photo. Fun to look at the older DSM.

Okay-here is a pic:

Have never found a deal like that at any of our thrift stores; i.e. SA or GW.

Best thrift store evah!

Last week I scored another bag jam packed with fat quarters for five bucks.

You certainly did well!!!! Enjoy. Your machine is a cutie!

Hah...you surpassed MY best deal. I got one with some accessories for $30. and thought that was the best deal. LOL

If you got a controller AND accessories for thirty then you got the better deal IMO.

I wish I could find out more about this machine like when it was made. I'm gonna guess mid 80's to mid 90's

Took care of what I thought might be loose connection where controller plugs in

Turned out to be dirty contacts. I wrapped a q-tip with a small piece of fine sandpaper and cleaned the contacts.

Wow what a great deal so glad you found a sewing machine you love.
