yes they did make them - the machine I had was a 111 but it had a walking foot

This is the week for machines on my want list, for sure. And I do have the giggles something awful over that manual. That is written in Finnish-style Swedish. "Återmatning" has to mean reverse but it is not in any of my dictionaries. And put "Helsingfors" into Google Maps and see where it takes you.

"Fram och" is "Forward and" and the only translation I get of Återmatning is "Feedback"

Using "price" to catch attention of lookers & buyers

Well good thing it only ships to the U.S. Don't think I could resist a machine made from "petina" regardless of the price

they think there's is the most expensive in the world, I have to guess they don't shop for sewing machines much

That parlor cabinet has been listed for well over a year- and the price is slowly creeping up. I first saw it at 10K.

The thing is, if I see a seller's got one thing listed way out of this world as far as price, I assume that the rest of their product is likely also out of line. (No research, greedy, etc) That's not really a good business model.

Sort of like bad names for companies. In town there's a shop (I haven't figured out what their focus is) called "crap to cash". They are -not- a pawn shop. The name doesn't entice me to shop there.... And the one Singer treadle they had there was a frankenstein of some sort and beat up - priced at $350.
