My first serger was the Necchi Pro Lock PL1026. It was a small workhorse for about 12 years until I had a problem where the needles wouldn't lock into the needle holder. In '08 I took it into the sewing machine store where I purchased it and they told me that they didn't have parts because the company went out of business some time ago. It is useful if I really work on securing the needles but I had to replace it with a computerized Viking (big mistake there--wish I'd bought a Bernina). Just be aware parts might be hard to find for them. If they are in good working order and the price is right, go for it!

Necchi bought in 1960 as a demo for $100, traveled in back seat of my car for many years (to do Mother's mending and alterations) while I was a teacher. It has an oak cabinet, since 1968 to use when I want good, basic seams. I took tailoring classes with this machine, made many garments on it until about 1985, alterations until about 2000. Other less-valued/priced machines since 1970s I have given away, currently use Necchi with a New Home (Hancock of Miss. model) when any decorative or zig-zag is wanted, Easy to clean, oil. I would nab one under your circumstances.

My mom had a Necchi when I was growing up. It had little plastic cams that you would pop in at the top to change the decorative stitch. What a great machine. She made all my clothes with it. Wish I still had it today..NOW that I can appreciate it. =)
