Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It sounds like a White Rotary cabinet. Not sure which model fits in it though. My 1903 fits a 14 x 7-1/2" opening.

Your Pfaff would look very elegant with this cabinet.
I once saw a Necchi BU in a cabinet similar to these at a second hand store, but the cabinet had been damaged and the machine was missing some parts.
So, if a Necchi fits and a Pfaff fits then does a Singer fit this cabinet too? Necchi Bu fits a Singer cabinet.

As a side note, the machine I bought from Goodwill was clean, bright and shiny and works perfectly. Probably the strongest motor in the house (Matsushti). It shipped for a whopping $17+ and was well packed though the box was flimsier than I would have chosen. I paid $6.99, plus the $2 fee. It's a Japanese machine branded Admiral, apparently made by Brother, but it looks like a Necchi. The feed dogs do drop and it has the vertical bobbin I want for FMQ. So why do I want to sell it? Because I have too many machines and still want another 301 and a Redeye.
I can understand the desire for a colored machine, though I would like my next 301 in black.
Candace, I do want to congratulate you on finding another 301. My previous post didn't sound like that.
Does anyone know where I can find the original price for vintage Singer sewing machines? I had the information at one time, but don't know where I found it. I need help!
Thanks, Janis
I'd like to know too.

I've picked up 3 machines from the local Goodwill auction site. All three were nice machines and fantastic prices. It seems they always need some kind of work though.

AVERAGE COST (cash paid) FOR MACHINE
Year Cost
1906 - 1912 $36.80 to 41.60
1913 - 1917 $39.60 to 44.40
1918 - 1920 $44.40 to 55.60
1921 - 1928 $60.80 to 67.20
1928 - 1935 $72.25 to 85.00
1935 - 1946 $84.00 to 115.00
When you figure folks weren't making more than a couple dollars a week those days - those machines were GOLD!!!
Then when you look at how well they were made and hold up they ARE gold - GOLDEN YEARS OF AMERICA at that!
Then today, when you look at a new sewing machine costing less than one day's or one week's work - no wonder they are disposable and if you look at how they are made it is no wonder they have so little value.

Oh....I have an old White around here....I'm gonna check it out after work!! Thank you!! The reason I love this cabinet is that it opens both ways...lid over to the left and a small flap to the right. I love that extra length of table to the right!!
