Bennett, it's a 301. The aqua one looks like a White to me. Look at the length of the name. My mother's White from the 50s looked just like that. That's the machine I'm looking for.
Buslady, I'm your enabler or finder, depending on how you look at it. It sounds like a winner. Judy

Thanks for the advise. I will see what it looks like after cleaning.
Is cleaning with machine oil better/easier on the decals than the Goop?

Just be careful! I clean one of my Two Spools with non pumice Goop and had the decals turn silver in the test area and on the bed where the shellac was already damage the decals turned silver and some was removed.
Always test!!!!
Billy, Hope all is well for you and you start to feel better.

She was a Type A, so the machine and cabinet, along with original manual and all the attachments are mint, I am told. I will not get it until mid August, it is several hours drive so will get it when I am planning a trip there for a confrence in mid August. I am very excited. Will name it "Ortha" after the DGM. I've gotten quite a collection going here. My DH started out thinking I was nuts, now he helps me and when a friend of his visited yesterday just before he left DH asked if I was going to show him some of my machines. He followed us around and if I forgot something, he filled in the details. LOL
Congrats and enjoy!
What do you all think about this sewing machine set? And what model is it. Looks nicely taken care of. My other machine is a Spartan, I thought this would be a nice addition. I really like the cabinet and stool, would like to refinish them in a darker color. It is a listing on craigslist, any tips or advice. They are asking 90 OBO 65.
Thank you, Anamaria
