OK, I'm going to jump in. I saw Starlight/Jan's post a while back with her Compac machine and I just loved the look of it. I watch CL and evilbay for several things, so I started watchine for old machines. I found this one on ebay that noone had bid on. I probably paid too much for it, but I love the color, and it looked pristine.
The SN is A468011. There are no scratches, it purrs like a kitten, and it makes a nice stitch. I honestly can't believe it has ever been used. The only bad thing is the case is sort of beat up and it smells.
I did receive a manual, but no date information. The MSRP according to the manual is $189.50. This looks like a 1940's or 1950's era machine, and that seems like a LOT of money for that time frame.
If anyone has any info on this beauty I'd love to hear it.
Thanks,
Darren
P.S. Please excuse the mess. I should have tidied up before I started taking pictures.
There are no scratches on it that I can find
