If you don't mind my asking, what is a PET extension table?

It's a wonderful table that has a clear top,storage compartments underneath it and the legs adjust to multiple heights. You can use it as a light box too. Has extensions to fit different machines as well. I use it with my Pfaff, my Grandquilter, my 301, Kenmore and Singer 503. Don't think they make them any more but if you can find one, they are great.

I am glad to see someone else paid *top dollar* for their 301 .. I kept reading about people who paid $35 for theirs. I wanted one in pristine condition so I paid a lot on eBay but these are keeper machines for me and I like them to look really nice.. Just felt I wanted one with a little more open to it space then my FW 201.
I did just find an extension table that will work for it when I do bigger pieces of quilting....

Thank you for your response. I was going to ask if they were interchangeable.

ummm..is there a reason why a 301 would not fit in a modern airlift cabinet if you had an insert made for it?
