and I ended up with a New Home, it lasted 16 years and did a lot of
sewing. I have a friend that has the 301A machine and she is 89
years old and still uses it. Tell DH you got a bargain!
Not only did i tell DH about my bargin, i told DH, if he touches, he will lose his hands (lol) we have been married 40yrs this month and ever since i have known him, he takes things apart to see how they work, so this is an older machine and i can see him doing this, my dad has been gone since 1995 and he worked for a company that make grandfather clocks and he made one for me and my MIL, one night after i went to bed i woke up to the bonging of the clock and went out to investigate and guess who got caught in the headlight, and almost got hit with a bat. I was sooo mad, i started hitting on him, at that time in our lives he was a police officer he's lucky i didn't shoot him. Anyway, i may have to lock this machine up like i did my others to keep it safe from him, he just doesn't learn his lessons.
