I just saw one of these Consew 18 machines in a flea market/antique mall for, I believe, $125. It appears to be in good shape and it looks like that price includes a table and motor, etc. I already have a good Adler 67-GK373 for upholstery and leather work, but holy cow, I have trouble passing up what appears to be a perfectly good walking foot machine for $125 with table and motor.

 

Is there anything I need to be aware of with these machines that can bite me in the butt if I'm not careful to look it over? The low price has me a little hinky. I know enough about sewing machines to be dangerous, am but by no means an expert.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

How about reading a manual instead of watching videos?  ;)
