I got my 401 from an antique store. It was listed on Craigslist as "free sewing machine". So my son and I went and got it. It was in a cabinet all closed up. I didn't know what I had picked up until we got it out to the pick up and my son wanted to look at it. It was a 401 with cams and manual. The cabinet was pressed wood and in bad shape. We got it home and it wouldn't sew a stitch, because the needle was in backwards. Put the needle in right and it works just fine.
