Yes, as long as there is nothing missing internally and it sews, that is a very good price. A couple years ago I paid $400 for just a 29k71 head. Then I got the base elsewhere for another hundred fifty.

I also think that is a good price for the Singer as it does look in pretty good shape from the photo. If you take a look at the topic "How Singer 29K's should operate" it may help you when you go and see the one you are interested in. The one in that topic with the link to a video is of a 1998 Singer 29K and it is not as nice or smooth as my other 1949 Singer 29k.

Anything from a 29K58 and up is good because you can get the parts be they generic or genuine.
