    Well, I went ahead and got it! The light is burnt out and she's a little dirty, but she took right off when I plugged her in. Whole lot of attachments, the binding foot still has binding in it LOL! and a separate buttonholer. I think we'll be great friends.

    I would grab it. Looks like you did, and I don't think you will regret it. The machine looks like it's in pretty good shape.

    And here I was going to tell you that I could be in Cincinnati in 15hours so you better buy it. Smart decision! Nice machine.
