Ok...this has GOT to stop! These darned machines just keep following me home!

We stopped at a thrift store today after hitting one of the antique stores and eating my heart out seeing 3 featherweights that weren't able to come home with me...($450 each!)

At the thrift store, there was a butt ugly, pressed wood cabinet. I opened it, and there was a Singer 201, Centenial! No power cord. Hmmmmm....marked at $35....bigger hmmmmmm.... Asked if they would take $15, because of no cord (thinking that if I can get parts for a FW, I'm betting I can get a power cord for this one!)

They said YES! The clear coat is in bad shape, but the machine body and decals are great. Don't know about the motor until I find a cord....but I'm betting she sews!
