Thanks to you knuckleheads I have started getting more machines with electric motors and I am starting to gravitate to the dark side! :lol:

Thank you everyone, hoping to get it by the end of the week. It's the tan colored one. I think I got it at such a good price because the seller didn't display the attachments, just the machine, case, manual and 2 boxes. I'm really not interested in attachments, I bought it to use it. I'll have to read up on the cleaning and maintance. I can hardly wait til it gets here.

I am passionate about the 301's and I have....um....well....7 of them. The best part is I have over a dozen friends that have seen the light and now sew primarily on 301's. I clean and service them for free, and also send out oiling and greasing reminders for my friends that need reminding.

Speaking of 301's.......does anyone have a basket for one? Its what the bobbin rides in that has the finger on it that fits up into the needle plate. My FW had the bobbin case frozen to it and the only way I could get it out of there was to break the stupid thing. :-(
The machine was a victim of Katrina and was under a lot of water for quite a while! PM me if you have one.
