Do it, do it! I had my mom's old 301a that she got in 1956 or 57. After reading here about how many people liked them, I got it out and have been using it. It's become my go-to machine for some quick piecing. It also makes me happy to feel like I'm sewing on a piece of my personal history. I can remember coming home from school and my mom would be sewing away on the 301 on the kitchen table (she never had a dedicated sewing room).
