    I bought this 301 locally in the table with cradle. I've removed it from the table and am trying to sell that on CL and just keep the machine. It needed a LOT of cleaning and love and the nicotine just ran off of it... A ton of elbow grease and she's running beautifully!

    Before...

    After..

    And here's a picture of her and her big Sister the Long bed. I've been working for several months to get the long bed operational and it's also fixed now too! I'm very pleased with them. The Long Bed is actually about 4 years older than the short bed.
