This would be a good thread to have. As much as I looove the VSMS, It's getting difficult to find specific information, I believe that the 301 has enough uniqueness and large enough of a following to have it's own fan club.
Plans for my day include moving my 301, in it's hefty cabinet, from the utility trailer back into the house. With the exception on the featherweights, the vintage ladies are still packed from their latest quilt show tour.
