take a look at the pictures up close...

Yeah, that poor 201 is a mess.
Face plate is missing
Major thread tangle
Needle jammed in the bobbin hook
And who knows what else

I've bought more GW machines marked "for parts and repair" that just needed cleaning or a cord set than I have good solid machines. I kind of like the challenge of refurbing them back to life.
