I'm so excited!! I'm going tomorrow to see all of her stuff that she is getting rid of. Its a 1.5 hour drive.
I believe I am coming home with a new machine....or three lol
You did really good on these machines and I would go ahead and get them all. All of them are Slant Shank so the feet and attachments will interchange, but the 301 and 500A are the two major scores here.
The 301's are fixing to pass the FW's in price and popularity and the 500A is probably the best machine Singer ever made. That machine will hang with any of the new Bernina's and I would set it next to the new 830 and put it to shame with the 500A. Remember it was a one year production machine (1962) and it was well ahead of its time.
