I picked up a 401 yesterday - it was on the back porch - argh - the stitch selector is frozen solid. It was the girl's grandma's machine. I asked the girl if she would rather I restored it for her and taught her to sew. She said she didn't have time to mess with an old piece of junk. I told her these were the best machines Singer ever made. It is junk now but I can make it work. Now I have to hope it does. She decided she had more memories with Grandma's record player. sigh.
