You can go here to compare your table http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_..._cabinets.html There are a couple of different tables that will fit the 301 short bed or long bed. So, it depends on which table you have. Mine fits, short bed 301's, 401's and 500 machines.

Good to hear. Whatever machine you buy, make sure the bobbin case is there. Getting a replacement is NOT cheap. Both the FW and 301 use the same bobbin case and it will cost you about $50 for a vintage replacement. A bit less for a repro.
does a 513 stylest singer have metal gears or plastic? thanks for any help

The 513's will have plastic gears. We have a 518 and a 538 and they are plastic geared.

Any one familiar with a Jones Family CS and what needles are required and where to get them. I have a nice one with the original HC on it.

Depending on it's age, the older machines take a round shank needle, 128x1, 16x1, 16x231, or serger needles BDx1 (pasted from Needlebar)
