I love my 1st, black 301a. I bought her in a case. The next black 301a, I was lucky enough to find on CL and got her, in a great desk cabinet, with stool for only $100. The next one is a 301 tan in a trapizod cabinet. My DS girlfriend found it on the curb for trash pickup! I had to buy new power cord and bobbin case. Still need to get tension right.
I am telling you all this..because..they have a way of finding a way to your house, so you have to be careful or you will end up not being able to move around the house. LOLOLOLOL
