My 401 was purchased in 1960- head only $350.
That was top of the line at that time.
It served me well all these years- clothing for myself- then my 6 children and 7 grands! Also slipcover, curtins, gifts , quilts, etc.
it is still in good working order- Only 1 major repair in about 1982- It needed a new motor ($75.00)
Can't beat a machine with all metal parts! No plastic!
