The 101 isn't that common, and while you can easily find aftermarket parts for the 201, I doubt you'll find any for the 101.
Mine seems to be the 101-3 as far as I have been able to research. It's cast iron. All I need is a power cable and some needles. Unfortunately I simply cannot get the machine running without the power cable and I'm not sure what I can get or what I might be able to modify to work. I only got the machine and table so I have no other lose parts. I am able to at least get the bobbins and needles without an issues (thanks to thse who helped me out with that!) but the power cord is the problem for me.
Mine has a knee press and not a foot press. The power cable seems to be an old fashioned horizontal three prong. I have a picture of both in the imgur link. I just don't know where to find the right part or what the right part is.
