I think you need to watch for deteriorating plastic or a crimp in the air hose otherwise it should be ok.

I had a Singer that had an air tube years ago....HATED it. Felt like I had to tromp the pedal to get it to move an inch. Finally just gave it away and bought my Janome.

I thought it was Elna machines that had the air foot controller. I didn't know Singer did too.

i had one, but gave it away. It was nearly new, IT WAS A SCHOOL MACHINE. They work fine I guess until you have to replace the air tube.

I have an Elna with an air foot controller and it is a very nice machine - works great. I think it all depends on the condition.

We have an Elna, school machine, with the air tube. Haven't tried it yet. Interesting.

Is it a 404 with an air tube?
