The 401A is a real workhorse. I have one that I purchased in 1959. I still love to sew on it. I have, in the past made draperies and did upholstery work with it. As for the accessories, contact an antique sewing machine dealer. I am sure they could supply you with a set. The 401 did not have snap on feet and I am not sure you could substitute them for the original ones. When we lived in Virginia, somehow (humidity) the pages of my manual stuck together and could not be separated. I was able to buy a copy of one on line.
