Ooh! I want to take you along when I shop - great find! My first machine was a White that was excellent for all the 20 years I had it. I sold it after I inherited my mom's Elna, which I still have. When I offered the 1966 White at a garage sale (too cheap), it was snapped up immediately by a guy who told me he owned a tailor shop. He'd asked to plug it in and try it, and I'd noticed a smile spread across his face as he listened to that baby hum. At least it went to a loving home.

White machines are wonderful !! I have my moms old one that is made of metal. Several years ago I bought the "Quilters Star" before I got my Bernina. Very nice machines .What a bargain you got! Even if you had to buy the piece that is missing.

I found the little drawer/storage 'deal', it's now in place, with the tools/accessories. Did I say the machine was in the original box?
