    That has been getting tricky.

    What a find!! I hope she runs well for you. I was lucky enough to find a Rocketeer last year on Craigslist in a custom cabinet for only $40 with 19 of the original 21 cams!!! I love mine!!

    You might have to pay that for just the disks...

    What great luck you had to find your 403A I have been searching for a while and have had no luck.

    Nice! She doesn't look dirty from here. That must have been a huge cabinet with a lot of drawers! If you search Touch and Sew on ebay you can find cams for less money than the ones that are advertised as 401/403/500/503. It is tough to find all the cams in one place without spending a lot, but you can get a bunch for not too much. When I wanted attachments for my 401 it was cheaper to get a T&S set. It came with some extra things I couldn't use but it had all the attachments of a 401 set. Here's a list of some cams:
