I recently bought a Singer 15-91, which is in mint condition, but secretly covet a 201. (guess it's not a secret anymore!) I love the charm and durability of the older machines. My sewing machine repairman told me that he hates the newer machines with the plastic heads that are split in half -- that eats a lot of the labor charge, because they are easy to take apart, but not fun to put back together --- very labor intensive.
