Hey fellow Cheesehead, glad you were able to find your machine! Today I was in my local Goodwill and picked up a black 301 in a cabinet for $12.75, the manual and attachments were not with the machine but it's in great shape. Didn't plan to look for a machine today, but DH was with me and he can be such an enabler. Two weeks ago he came home with a pretty little green Singer 185J for $35 in a mahogany cabinet that was in excellent condition. Jan
