Lovely, I've only sewed on the 401A, for over 40 some years and it the best thing since "iced tea." My Mom bought it brand new back in the sixties for me and my late sister to learn how to sew on in high school and I have been left the custodian of it and I have had it maintance only a year and I try to remember to oil it a least two to three times a year and it has been good to me. Two years ago my middle DD used it to make everything that she used in her second wedding, but her dress. If you be good to it then it will be good to you.
