May be buying a Singer 201k23
Well now, I have a line on a singer 201k23. Its the brown/biege color.
Simple, easy to use, hard to break and a great stitcher. Perfect for the wife's quilting since she doesn't get along with any machine. If there's a way to break it just by using it, she's your girl.
Ive never had one, but my understanding is the 201 is the proverbial stone Axe of electric 201's. Aluminum case body iirc, but thats just fine for her.
The kicker?
20 bucks.
I hope its in decent enough shape when I go look at it and that the seller hasn't called it a 201 incorrectly.

No worries. He doesn't even have it advertised. This is the guy I bought the 319W form and he had a bunch of other machines his father had in the back shed.
While I can't remember exactly, I'm pretty sure it was a 201K. Two tone brown, the right shape, etc.
Offered more of his machines to me when I looked at the 319, but I wasn't really interested in any more at the time.
When I got home and thought about it, I began to think I was looking at one of the aluminum 201's and didn't realize it.
A little internet search and an email back to the gent and he said drop by today.
He also had one of those Kenmore's that was apparently made by the Chrysler corp. I was interested in that one because of it's styling and chain drive and he only wanted 20 bucks also. I passed on that because I've read it's needles are no longer produced.
The 201 will be a great go to machine though....
