Ooops--one more. A GoodhousekeepER with interesting gridded panels (photos #9 and 10). Wonder what the 3 buttons are that look like rectangular dice?

Am I missing something here, or is this person trying to sell old plastic bobbins for 2-3 times the cost of the same bobbins new on Amazon or Ebay?

I'm guessing because the table can be used for other machines only if you leave those front brackets in. I have a table with a 401 in it and have noticed it has the front brackets. Once you remove them, you have no front supports. Many people especially those who collect prefer to have the 301 sit solo and not fill the house up with yet another table, so that makes the cradle available to sell.
Oh well.
The cabinet that I had only had 2 little pieces of metal, not a whole front piece. All I would do to replicate this if I put the machine back into another cabinet that didn't have them is notch the spot that needed to be notched so everything would sit where it needed to be, bend a piece of "flat stock" - or use an angle bracket if one fit there - then drill a hole for the pin in the cradle and a hole for the screw to hold the bracket on. As Singer has shown us several times, there's more than one solution to any problem.

Regarding the cradle brackets/latches:
I took some pics of the bracket latches on the #40 Queen Anne cabinet that came with the Singer 301 I'm keeping. Here's one side (no part number on this latch.)

Here's the other latch with Simanco part #136413:

Here's the underside view for those of you (us?) looking to duplicate these in your metal shop!

Finally, here's the business end, as viewed from above. I can only assume that the cork that supports the machine is original...it looks pretty good for a tiny piece of cork that's been (at least occasionally) supporting half the weight of a 301 SM for 63 years!
