It could be also a 201-2, which has a motor in a little can on the back and no visible belt. You might go on ISMACS.com and look at the different machines to get a little head start. Parts are available for most of the Singers and you can go from there. Is there someone experienced in SMs that you can take with you. Consider slipping a SM needle, small spool of thread and bobbins in your pocket so you can "test drive" the machine. The price is reasonable at today's market prices, countrywide. If those things go with it, the price is fine. There may be attachments also that he forgot to mention. If the machine was used for quilting, ask about the quilting equipment. Chances like this don't come around very often. Again, if the lady quilted, it probably won't be junk. If it is a 222, WOW! Wish I could go with you.
