serger...is this a good one?

[candipooh]

Hi all. I am on the lookout for my very first serger. I know very little about them.

I found this one on craigslist. Is this a good deal?

Anything I should be on the look out for?

That was a good serger. It from the 90's. I try to talk them down to about $100-125. You're probably going to need to get it serviced. My guy charges like $85 for servicing so...you can see you're heading into the $200 cost range.
you can check out patternreview too.

It actually looks like it might be from the late 1980's.

Thank you so much for the advice.

Did you end up getting it? I hope the age didn't frighten you away. My serger is from the mid 90's and it's a rockstar! I love it! It makes even my pitiful serging look good.
