201's are super machines. A Google search of Singer 201 reviews will show how many devoted owners there are out there. There are not many machines for sale in my area and often they are very overpriced; treadles and vintage. E.g.: On Sunday I went to an estate sale and saw a Singer mocha 301 in a nasty, non-trapezoid cabinet and they wanted $400 for it. They said one guy offered $350 for it. Whew! Way more than I would have offered. You are lucky to have so many reasonably priced machines to choose from. Enjoy!!!!
