I picked my sewing machine up from the curb in South Philly 15 years ago. Still works great and does everything I've ever asked of it.

Seems to be a 1970's model, but not really sure. Similar to, but obviously a bit newer than, my mother's 1960's machine that I learned on.

Add me to the "whatever old(ish) one you can find used" parade.
