I'm headed up that way to get the trapazoid 301 today... I might take a look at it. They've had it listed for sale since early December, maybe even longer.
I'm still hoping for a great steal deal... like a $35 garage sale, portable 201!!!! (I think it was Nancy? or maybe Brenda that found that recently! Gosh!!!) lol... sometimes I think the HUNT :mrgreen: IS the fun part!!!
Kim, The 201s are not portable machines. These ladies are solid (and run smooth). The one that is in the Queen Anne cabinet on CL is the machine to go for first, since it is rare to find a 201 with an external motor in the US. Most here in the States are 201 with potted motor.
I do hope someone who is looking for an excellent machine to use in a treadle goes after this 201 in the Queen Anne cabinet. This is a great deal at $100.
