Ida and I were both "born" in 1951. :-) I was so pleased that she did so well....she just purred along!!
Hi Janice, congrats on your victory! The 301's look really cool. What do you look for? Is the long bed more desirable? Black or Tan? What is a good price? Thanks, Nicky
In the past 6 weeks I have purchased 2 - 301a off of craigslist and both were in cabinets and both came with attachments.
The first one I paid $150~~it came with a photocopied manual, lots of attachments and a buttonholer.
The second one I paid $70~~also came with lots of attachements, buttonholder, a zigzagger and an original manual. Almost forgot to mention this one came with the original little bench too.
Mine are both the tan/rose color. :-D
