I know, I know. I need to stop buying them. But this is the mint green color I've wanted for a long time, the price was right ($50), and it's in OK condition. (It has a broken spool pin, missing hinge pins, broken light/motor switches, loose badge, dirt/dust/oil/tape residue/etc., and a few dings.) The seller said she bought it on eBay which surprised me as I usually follow eBay fairly closely, although I'm not nearly as hawk-eyed as I used to be.
I do love these Supernovas. They are really smooth and precise, look fantastic, and parts are more common and less expensive than might be assumed. Best of all, this one came with a nearly complete accessories set including all cams and most of the presser feet. These two boxes alone are worth more than what I paid for the package.
It's fun to imagine a display of all my Supernovas together. And yes, I would probably acquire a gray one just to have all the colors. At this point, what's one more?
Oh, I should mention: it runs extremely well. That matters, right?
