Hi Joe,
I completely understand and am with you about the 401A. Found mine right after Christmas at our local Goodwill for $30.00. Clean as a whistle and in a very nice cabinet. It purrs and has become my favorite machine. No extra cams but so many stitches built in that I can wait a while to purchase the extra cams. If I can find them, haven't looked yet on line. No attachments came with it but feet to my featherweight and Singer 9134 both fit so that is no problem. Am really looking forward to using a twin needle, don't have one just yet, but can't wait to see the stitches side by side in two colors. Loving it. Sure hope she at least lets you use it occasionally. Kitsy
