And since I am already getting it....do you know where I can purchase extra presser feet and such for it???? Thanks.
.....i have been reading a lot of GOOD things about this machine.

Usually if they have a cam stack there are no external cams - there are exceptions but this one is not an exception. You can buy accessories from some of the part vendors. It looks like a low shank but hard to tell from the pictures. The machine above it looks like a high shank.
