What I viewed on line, and the description of the machine sounded like a portable.
It may well be portable!!! Look under the lift lid and see if there is a lever under there. If you push the lever the machine will just pop out of the metal basket that holds the machine in the cabinet. It is so easy once you figure it out.
Once I get it in the house, I'll check it out. But then, I'll need a case of some sort, and sole feet? Then I'll still have this heavy cabinet . . . Hey, I'm not complaining. (DH, on the other hand - )
I found replacement rubber feet at
http://shop.sew-classic.com/Singer-3...-Parts_c37.htm - or it might be on her 401 page
- cheap too.
And you don't need a case...it will sit right on a table. The bottom is covered by a plate. Mine does not have a case or a cabinet. She came all by it's little lonesome self. She now lives in my wheeled sewing machine tote, and is my traveling companion to classes, etc.
