I have one too. Mine is in a cabinet with 3 drawers down each side. It is really a workhorse. It will stitch through things that the new machines will balk at. You can get the rubber thing to wind bobbins at Walmart. I got mine with a belt and the rubber thing together for about $2.00. Have fun with it.

My mom has something like that and it sounds like a log truck going down the road. She has it all out of whack.

She is lovely! My DH gave me one for my birthday earlier this year. I am so glad you found her. Enjoy! What a cute and elegant blond cabinet she lives in.

Here is my 401A.

YOu can by the stitch regulator knob online. I can't remember where right now that I purchased mine for 301A but just do a search and you will find a place. Have fun.
