After reading the various threads on featherweights and looking in local thrift shops, I went in the thrift shop next to our post office and rummaged around. Found a Singer 401 in cabinet for $29.92. The store lady said that it did work but didn't know anything else about it. My question is, are they real expensive to get cleaned up and running smoothly. Researched ebay and they want $150 to $300 for what they say is excellent condition. What do you all think? I value your judgement. Oh by the way, thanks for reading. :roll:
