This one might only count as a vintage machine (barely) but I thought I would ask what ya'll thought about it...the price is right, asking $30. The sellers know nothing..."passed down to us, we don't know how to sew" I'm wondering whether it's worth it or whether it's a plastic sew 'n toss...

Ask for a photo of inside the top. I would imagine it has nylon or plastic gears. Make sure the cams and gears aren't cracked before purchase.

i had a newer modle probly from the late 90s and it had mostly metal gears it wasent great but it wasent junk eather.

I don't think it is a bargain at $30. Just my opinion.
