A green 319 has been on my wishlist since I saw a You Tube video of a 319 that some one had put into a treadle cabinet. Have you seen that video, yet? Here is the link:

I guess the bobbin is in an awkward place for changing it but that's alright.

I've been sewing on mine for some rag quilt projects and need to buy the heaving #12 or #14 needles.
I also picked up a black 319W I had to get in running shape!!!

My black one I paid $45 in a really bad table. Likewise it wasn't running and I had to completely redo it and have spent about $10 in parts. Probably 8 hours invested so far.
So....be prepared to spend more for a running, good condition machine and less for one you have to refurbish. They're out there if you want one! But, don't spend a fortune on the machine if it needs work. And remember these take specialty needles that you can only get online.
