I found an ad for an antique singer for $15... in a cabinet...
I emailed the owner, who said it is in working condition - I'm planning on at least taking a look at it, but I'd love to hear thoughts from those of you who have one and sew with it. I'm specifically thinking of using it for heavier weight fabrics. Would it be strong enough for bags, totes, and such? Here is a pic of the machine:
