    If you’re talking to me.....I wouldn’t recommend ANY used sewing machine of the newer type. You’re a tech. You know how people (techs and users both) jack around with machines.

    If it’s a Singer 301, and unless it’s an older model with the long fold-down bed (301-2), you probably should look for a 2-prong control cord for it.
