I received a Singer 401 Slant O Matic for Christmas. It's a 1960 sewing machine. I finally used it last weekend in a quilting class and found it makes the most beautiful straight stitch ever. It has many decorative stitches and it came in a case with lots of feet for $195 from a second hand store. They had three of them.
They are awesome machines. Real workhorses and inexpensive and will last forever. I grew up sewing on one and traded it in on a Viking. I realized later what a mistake I made, so my husband bought me this Singer 401 to make up for my error. I'm a happy camper again.
