OK, I have officially joined y'all now :-)
My 201-2 arrived last night with a broken balance wheel due to inadequate packing. So I am hunting one if anyone has a spare to sell.
I will also have to get the hinges to put her in my #42 cabinet. Anybody?
She sews nicely though! And came with plenty of attachments for me to figure out LOL
I am curious though that her serial (#AE314951) indicated 1936 but she doesn't have the scroll plates. Maybe they were replaced with newer ones?

A White treadle with "pot rash". Other than that, it looks pretty good. Have a blessed day, all. I'm off to Quilts of Valor meeting.

Quick ? for those in the know - lol
Does my new 201 take a 66 bobbin? I want to order up some more because I like to pre-wind plenty when I am quilting.
eta Do the plastic ones work so I can see how much is left????

Cant get any more info til i get to a better internet connection, but will be interested in information on this machine. it has several unfamiliar features. oh, got it for $25. Proof that these machines have a way of finding us! now all i want to do is take her home and enjoy! looking around the store trying to find a place to open a shop in a corner. LOL
Here is a little video showing how to fill the bobbin on your new 27:

The 66K ran from 1907 to 1940 with 2,981,388 manufactured during that stint.
The total Model 66 production from both factories totaled 8,906,297 units.
