I am lucky you didn't! Someone actually had posted that listing on the Facebook group because it was inaccurate. The listing stated it was a 301. That's probably why it didn't get bidders.

BUT the other week I saw a 201 on CL, emailed and 3 or 4 days later got an answer. I just had surgery so delayed sending DH after it. He looked at it and talked the people down to just about giving it to him. LOL. He got it home and it has a frozen pressure bar and a rusted bobbin carrier. The needle bar is still in time out but the rest of the machine works like a new one. I should get off here and give that bar another squirt.
Good for you on getting the 201. I am sure you can get it moving and in good shape again. In about an hour or faster LOL! If it's something you want, the longer you take the more risk of losing out. I have hesitated before and lost.
The height of the table should be fine for sewing. It's listed as being 29" tall. Most of my tables are either 29 or 30 inches but of course that also depends on how tall you are and the chair you use.
