The 201-2 is a great machine to quilt on! I got the one I have for free, but it was missing the foot control and a slide plate. The electrical -- my son re-wired the electrical -- you could hear the wiring crumble when it was flexed -- so my son re-wired it -- Of course, he worked 14 years as a SM Mechanic, so he knew what he was doing. My machine -- whoever had it before me had removed the tensioner to clean and put the tensioner back in backwards, so it was brought to a Sewing Machine Shop that wouldn't work on the vintage machines. So, we replaced the foot control, the slide plate and my son rewired the motor, and it's my go-to machine for quilting. The decals on my machine are in almost-perfect condition. And, the 201 has the largest harp space of any machine I have.
