It is my understanding that the wiring on the 201-2 is notorious for not aging well. In other words, just as indicated in my previous post on this thread, the insulation on these old machines will crackle and pop when flexed -- NOT something I'd want to have going on if I were sewing on that machine. My son rewired my 201 because the insulation was absolutely cracking off. I think I'd rather re-wire the motor than risk a fire due to failed insulation. JMHO
