Reaping Machines?

Y'all, I did not get my sweater made this weekend. HOWEVER! I have the materials. I am ready to go, but I do not own a sewing machine in this city. My old Brother is resting in my parent's attic in Eugene, Oregon. It didn't fit in the back of the Sube when I drove here last year. Does anyone in the Chicago area who also happens to be reading this have a sewing machine in working condition that they would be willing to part with? I am accepting all reasonable offers between $0 and $75.

if so, holler! rbonebright at yahoo dot com.
