I have added a Singer 401A to my collection. I purchased the machine and it's table at a household auction. Both are in excellent condition. The table has the matching insert too. I paid $45.00 for both of them together. I really wanted the table for one of my 301's, but my keep the 401, as it has been fun to play with.

Here's one of them. Hover your mouse over it. There are other photo options in the "Go Advanced" area.

Thanks for the screen shot. I had to change something in Settings to get all of the icons to show.

That's a really great deal. You practically got the table for free.

Good catch on both the table and the machine!

I have my Grandma’s folding table that she had for her Singer 404 (I have that too), that looks about like your table. I believe that they’re officially called the “Model 316 Monterey Utility Table”. Mine has stains on it from us kids eating our Potluck meals on it back in the 50s & 60s. Grandma would set it up for us out on the porch because the kitchen was always full of “big people”. I may have caused one or two, so the stains will have to stay.

I look closely at the legs of every folding table that I see in yardsales and markets, looking for another one.....

This is the same machine my mother bought years ago--which I now have. It was quite the machine in it's day!

Wow! What wonderful find and at a great price. The table is in fabulous condition. I have a 301 and a 401 and use them both. I hope you really enjoy it!

I love my 401. Paid $150.00 at an estate sale with a desk cabinet and attachments and manual. Cleaned oiledandpurrs like a kitten. Came with 5 cams.
