'Classic' style zigzag?

'Classic' style zigzag?
Trolling eBay tonight we came across a Singer 206k for sale. Interesting looking so we did some quick research and came up mostly empty Really, though, the likely $300+ price tag will probably keep us away from this machine.
The question, then, is what other 'classic' style zigzag machines - narrow waisted with smooth lines - are out there? We also saw a Necchi that almost-kina-sorta fit the description (the waist was suffering from spread and the lines were a bit abrupt) but the spousal unit wasn't impressed with the looks so I didn't bid on it. I'm sure that some else did a nice looking older zigzag but I'm not finding it.

If my memory is remembering right, the 206 was Singers first ZZ machine. That's why it's got the classic lines. I've got the desires for one too, but I always seem to be outbid.
Be advised though they take the 206x13 needles rather than the 15x1s.
