You got a great deal with those machines and the cabinets. I got a 401A for FREE! It was in a yard sale out in the country this summer when it was soooo hot here that people didn't go outside unless necessary. It had been priced at $1.00, I'm told, and didn't sell. My hubby had told a local shop owner that I liked old machines, and his mother brought it in for him to give to me. It's just a portable, but that's OK with me. All of my machines, vintage and newer ones are portable. I'd love to get one in a cabinet some day. Love your cabinets, especially the $10.00 one.

Loved seeing the pictures. :) :) :)

Great find. I have a singer 503 in a cabinet that I have had since 1963. It still works like a top. So it has been almost 50 years and still works. That's good.

You got a 401 for ten bucks? I am soooo jealous!

My mom had a 401A before she got her Singer Golden Touch'n'Sew (which I now have). Great machine!

That's FABULOUS! I never run across those kinds of deals. I got a 201 for about $25, once because it was beat to smithereens and the wiring was terrible and it didn't have a case or a cabinet. That's the only good deal I can think of. I don't mind much though. I figure that if I spend $200-300 on a machine and getting it wired and refurbished, I've got a machine that is going to outlast anything on the market at that same price, so I figure that's a good deal in itself.

I'm always tickled pink to hear about someone getting such a great price on a good machine, though. Someone who loves these old gals and is willing to clean and refurb them deserves to get a fun break like that. Congratulations! :D
