Hard to resist free 401A
 

I was getting ready to go out of town for a night. But it can't hurt to check marketplace one more time, right?

OK a crappy picture of a slantnose that has only been up for 30 minutes..Selling is slowish to respond and I wonder if I may have to leave before I hear back. Ahh, there he is. We talk (slowly) and I am watching the clock. It turns out he is less than a mile from me. 401A . I don't want the poor cabinet, so we we pull it out. Takes longer to get the knee controller off. and (hmm another controller comes with it ) and a manual Also there is an accessory box with feet, plate and 4 cams. All for free. I just started playing with it and it is draggey with the motor engaged.Ahh I will have the joy of tinkering with it..

You can't beat free, and it looks very clean from where I'm sitting.

Around here that would be $350....

Goodness, original accessory box and all! What a lucky find!

Cleaning up these machines and getting them running again is so much fun - congratulations and enjoy it. :)

St. Louis market is higher than Topeka, But I am a happy guy.

What a deal, Leon!!! Have fun!

Free is always good! You will have so much fun playing with this baby. It sounds like a prize!

Free is awesome. It seems like there are lots of cabinets with bad machines. Happy tinkering!

Nice find Leon https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png

The market here for old Singers is relatively low, but this one would probably still bring $75 -$100. Nice find! I look forward to hearing about the cleanup.

Leon, I could just cry when I see that one. I had my Mom's in perfect condition along with the cabinet and that was before I knew anything about old Singers. I got rid of it.
But........... happy you got it. I shouldn't have looked at this thread haha :)
