Ok, you guys! I just bought a 301 in a trapazoid table. She was in the back of a thrift shop storage room and so dirty and nasty looking that I think she was doomed for the dumpster. I asked for a price and paid them what they wanted....I HAD to save the old girl. I could tell she had been a loyal worker for many years.
Before I read this thread, I took the machine out of the table and am in the process of cleaning it. (Which it REALLY needed-have worked 9 hours on it so far and it's still needing more elbow grease). I want this machine to be portable, so I took all the hardware off the cabinet that belonged to the cradle and knee controller with the intention of selling them for a reasonable price. I'm not looking to get rich, only attempting to make the price I paid for the old girl seem a little less steep to me. I intended to ditch the table, which is in less than perfect condion, but still funcional if reassembled. Now what???? I always feel terrible throwing anything away that someone may want. Anyone interested? I live in Wisconsin and I'd be happy to give the table to the first person to come for it.
The 301 came with a zig zagger and button holer, which I know I'll never use. Those will be for sale too, along with the cradle. Maybe I'll make it a "lot" of items and sell it all for one low price. How about $20 plus shipping? What do you all think of that price?
Can you tell I'm confused?
