I saw this ad on our local Kijiji today but when I look at it, it looks like a featherweight to me. They say it is a Model 678-3 but when I google that I found something about a motor with that number. They say it runs fantastic and everything is included. Not sure what they mean but there is a case in the background. They are asking $125 for it and I am going to see it tomorrow afternoon. My DD has my car today so I couldn't get in to the city today. I am crossing my fingers that it is a featherweight!

Definately a featherweight and at a reasonable price. The case is a dead giveaway before you even open the machine. The size and the flip up bed are also sure indicators. Many times family members cleaning out estates have no idea of what they have. I bought two old Singers on Kijiji for $60 which were featherweights that had belonged to the woman's mother and aunt who had recently died. I thought she wanted $60 for each and was absolutely floored when she said it was for both machines. Happy stitching.
