Loya 99,
I'm so happy that you got the 301. I have a black 301 and I love it.

I agree with Billy, they are not too heavy and can travel almost as well as a Featherweight. Plus, they have a handle in the top!

I love it and the long bed makes it that much desirable to me! I think it was well worth the extra miles to go get it.

Loya 99,
I had one like this for about 5 years and I sold it last year.
I wish I hadn't sold it now. Once upon a time I had four 301
machines in all the colors that they came in.

What a lovely machine! I am on the hunt for a 301, and have so far lost three auctions on ebay this weekend due to folks outbidding me in the last 10 seconds! How frustrating! But, my time will come!

You guys are making me want to get a 301 too!
But does anyone know anything about the 501a? I almost bought one this weekend, but I passed on the machine. Now I wish I had bought it. I looked up the 501A on google and it is called a "Rocketeer." It actually is a pretty cute machine.

The 500 Series machines were really nice and the 500A was ans still is the best machine Singer came out with. I have a 500A that I have used a couple of times and I would put it up against any of the modern machines out there and I bet it would send them back to school!
