Thoughts on the Singer 2662?
I started with a Janome Sew Mini, but have finally asked too much of it and messed it up mechanically. For the time being, there is a singer 2662 available on the local market, but online reviews have seemed... mixed. What are your thoughts?

I bought a modern Singer several years ago. It only lasted me ten projects. Now it's a door stop. After that experience, I switched to vintage machines only. I have never paid more then $100 for a vintage machine and I know they won't fail me.
Since you are in Alaska, does Amazon ship to you? Maybe you could get a simple Brother machine for the same price as the local Singer 2662? Brother makes very good machines. Walmart generally carries Brothers too.
