Indeed so. I've been hoping to find one that's local, and not as expensive as a new one. Primarily I've been attempting to build up the gear necessary to make the shoes I'm looking to make, so I'm getting impatient to be done with some of the more intensely expensive infrastructure pieces. My girl encouraged me to sell stuff first though, so perhaps you're right as well. I should wait a bit and find a new one, or at least one that's not 25 years old. I've seen the links around the site for sewing machine companies, and have been reviewing and researching all the information I can find on the subject in the archives. You've a rather extensive knowledge of the subject. I appreciate the help.

So, if I understand this correctly: The RB-1 has a ratchet for stitch length adjustment, the RB-3,4,5 have stitch length dial ?? That's really the only main difference ?? Reason I ask: I found an RB-1 on craigslist for $800.00. Not a horrible price, given how expensive these are, and only one owner (hopefully a light handed careful one). I really have no frame of reference for whether or not that's a "great" price, but supposedly it's to fuel the costs of a wedding. So, I might not negotiate down much from that if that's the truth.
