I collected my aluminium 201k on Wednesday and spent today cleaning it up. It was lovely to be able to pick it up and turn it round with one hand as I was working on it. It is so much lighter than my standard 201k. It stitches beautifully and I think it is well on the way to becoming my favourite vintage machine. I took the motor off because the cord was missing and I've popped on a crank for now and after Christmas I will put it in a treadle.
The little table that came with it (pictured a few pages ago) will be a project for the summer.
