Today at a resale shop, I saw a 1949 Singer 201 that is naked. It does have the bobbin, but no foot control and cord, and no cabinet or case. Do the foot control and cords cost very much to replace? It needs a three hole plug. Does anyone have one to spare??? I don't know how much they will be asking for it. I like it because it is supposed to have a larger throat and also had the ability to drop the feed dogs. It is able to be used without a base to sit upon, won't it? What else do I need to know to convince my hubby that it needs to go home to Indiana with me? any additional information on the 201, for or against is welcome!
They also had a 1952 Singer 128 with a shuttle and the matte brown finish. Since it is 3/4 size and I already have 2 99's, I don't see a need for it.
They had them both in the back room and won't be priced and put out for sale until Thursday when someone who works there will be there to check them out and price them. Thanks
