New question....
Were the FW's and the 301's the only flip up bed machines produced? Or did other company's besides Singer do some. Did Singer do any other models with flip up beds?
I'm curious... my MIL just told me she had a flip up. She thinks it's a FW (it's in a case, on the floor, in the back of her sewing room gathering dust bunnies...). I seem to remember that her daughter has the FW. So now I'm wondering what the heck my MIL might have. (I go to her house tomorrow to check...).
If she has a 301A, I want it!!! But, <sigh> I know her, and she'll drive a hard bargain... :(
