It's missing the knee/power control which can cost more than the machine. There have been several threads here on Goodwill if you do a search. Not all comments were positive. Hope yours arrives o.k.

I just won this one but I'm picking it up on Monday. I'm on the fence about the paint job but it cried out to me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]451645[/ATTACH]

It looks like there's a round thingy by the hole so I am assuming it has it and hopefully the metal part that you kick is inside the case (??). Let's hope it's all intact. If I can ask someone to pick it up for me in San Diego then it will be a steal for $14.95.

goodwill also? And for how much if you don't mind my asking? Looks nice and complete. As long as it's working that will be fine. Painting it will be secondary.

It was goodwill. It was $10 and the listing claims it works well. I was the first and only bidder.

That's not a 128. The bobbin winder is low so it's a 28. Even better in my book

Cool. That makes my $14.95 purchase even better.

I picked up both machines I bought. No problems.
I don't know how they are about packaging machines to ship. That can be iffy if not done right.
