I don't know if all the Goodwill storeshave this or not, but here, we have a Goodwill OUTLET that gets all of the things( from the stores in town) that did not sell......in this outlet,(we call it our "dump store" ) everything is just dumped on these big long movable tables............and anything you buy is $`1.25 a pound for fabric items, the books are 59 cents a pound......and any other things, like this sewing machine, have very low prices on them.....I saw a Brother machine in a ratty cabinet, for $8.00 the other day..but the electric plug was cut off, which my hubbby says usually means it is not working, running, at all...........I was tempted, but aftraid it would cost a fortune to repair it...that is where I found this wonderful old Phaff for $10 -- probably the best buy I will ever come across........

TenTen is beautiful! And an excellent find in the outlet store too. All I have seen is a two dial Kenmore. You all have spoiled me to look for machines by the way, I saw the cabinet and went "that is the one sewing machine in this store". :P

Do you get the manual and pattern wheel? They're both available as downloads, the pattern wheel you might have to join the oldpfaffpforum on yahoo groups.
That machine goes for a minimum of $200 here in Australia, and probably more in the U.S. (and that's for the so-called 'portable' version).
