Ask me how I know ;-)
My 301 I acquired last Friday came in this exact cabinet. Did you notice the built in electric foot controller at the inside right bottom? It pulls out for use and slide back in for storage.
Ask them if the portable foot controller is still in the cabinet. It will be hanging on the inside right of the horizontal door on the right. It should be in a bracket above the drawers, mounted on the side wall. It could also be seen from the top when taking the machine out of its cradle/mounting.
I like this cabinet if the knees would fit.
Aardie.
We have this exact cabinet with a 301. DH is taller. Let me ask with lunch. Also I wonder if you can lift it if you want it taller. DH did this with our 66 treadle cabinet so now it is almost 3 inches up. A little under one inch on the bottom and about two inches above the top of the metal stand. He put small wooden blocks on the top of the metal stand and lifted the whole top and machine that way nearly 2 inches. No belt yet but it is more comfortable petalling.
