Janie you do realize that you can just press one little lever on the cabinet and your 301 will come right out? It is totally portable, you can just place it right on a table top. The bottom is covered by a plate and it has feet. My 301 is my class buddy...it goes right into a wheeled tote and is easy to move around. It only weighs 16 pounds.
I don't understand about the machine being black? They are shiny so should reflect light!
