I keep looking, just don't have much luck finding. I don't know where
they all disappeared to. Not many people around here who sew. We don't
have Craigslist in the area and HV Recycle never did anything but load
up my Yahoo inbox with thousands of emails. I sometimes got 500 in a
day, so I went off the list.

I've found most of mine in thrift shops, Juno. It's a bit of a hassle,
checking in them regularly, though some will take your name and number
and call if they get a likely machine in. I even got one of my
Featherweights in a thrift store! If you were closer, I'd fix you right
up, but I'm leery of shipping - I've heard so many horror stories.

There is some Craigslist location that would be considered local to you
even if it isn't right in your town -- they claim to cover the whole
country, or at least to try to, sort of like a set of radio antennas
that try to provide coverage of their radio station throughout the
entire country -- and you might check that and/or post a wanted ad to
see if that will help.

I'll keep looking and hoping. I know I'll find one when I least expect
to. Thanks for the information
