Your best bet is to find and older used model, something with lots of cast
iron in the construction. The newer models have too many aluminum parts
and cheap, unbalanced motors. You end up with lots of vibration.

100% correct as long as you get one that you can still find parts for going
forward. I have a number of customers with $200-300 workhorse machines
(i.e. huge, bomb proof) with a broken this-or-that which they can't
replace...

As long as you find one that works and there is at least the chance you can
get a parts machine as well, you're much better off with what some call WW2
era machines.
