If you google it you'll find out more info. Much heavier than a FW, but cute. I have the green 185K which is very similar in size and weight. I paid $25. You can find them in the $10-$40 range, though some crazy people will be asking $150 or more on Craigs List, that you can be sure of!

The Spartan is a good little (but not light) straight stitch machine. It would make a good starter machine or a machine for someone who just wants to stitch occassionally. There are no fancy bells or whistles (not even zig-zag). The Spartan was sold as a hard working affordable Singer. It was not their Cadillac model. In Southern Ontario you can pick up a Spartan in good condition for less than $100.

It is the machine I use for all my piecing, sews a nice tight straight stitch and easy to use and maintain. Around $50 or less is a good buy, and it will serve you for a lifetime. Same machine as a Singer 99 and there are lots of attachments that it can take also. For a manual, look for the Singer 99 one.
