I think of passing it and holding out for a 500 or 500A or am I missing out on something if I do? Anna
I prefer the 403 to the 401, because there are less levers to push/pull/ hang from etc. The simpler the better for me!!
If the machine has all its attachments, etc. and is in good condition and has been cleaned, oiled and adjusted, that doesn't sound like a bad price to me--I have sold them for that much. However, if parts or attachments are missing or the machine is scratched and dirty, I wouldn't pay that much.

I have to go look at mine to see where this face plate is. I've never heard that term before.

Billy
I could also order some needles, but I only want a few of the industrail needles -- don't need thousands!
Thanks Billy,

They take size 127 X 1, which are obsolete, but can be found. Send me a PM if you can't find one.
