Remembered to oil it first and guess what...IT WORKS. Just like a dream.Looked up Singers site, and it was made in Clydebank Scotland in 1955. It's a 201K.
Anybody know anything else about them??
Oh, and here's a pic.
Oh how I would love to have one of those!!! That is the new style of 201K and is one of my faves like the 185J/K. You own a work horse of a machine and I wish we could get them here in the states. I had a 201K at one time but the fellow never did deliver it to me and I lost my $35.........

I have a 1937 Singer 201K that I treadle, it was born a hand crank. OMG its a very smooth and nearly silent machine. I've not seen the new ones that ya'll are talking about.(oops I went back another page and saw it)
