Finally found my Blk Singer 301
I had found a 301 Tan/cream shortbed for $15, it was half price at a second hand store. Found my 301 Mocha longbed for $10 at a senior center rummage sale. So have been looking for the blk sheep 301, found it at a second hand store for $50. I tried to talk them down but no go so I pd it and was still happy, it runs like a dream, came with manual, extra bobbins, needle pack (said 40 cents) and a pair of sissors. Love my trio of 301's.

Congratulations!!! Those 301s are the best!!
I searched forever to find a 301 and then a good friend of my Mother who is in her late 80s was moving and asked me if I would like to have hers!! I was thrilled and absolutely love her!! She is a short bed black with a blonde cabinet and I love her!!
The cabinet needs lots of veneer work on the sewing surfaces so I'm hoping to be able to fix it as I can't really use it in the cabinet right now - I did take it to a cabinet maker and he was crazily expensive - it was ridiculous and it was obvious that he was not interested in working on it. After a bit of reading on how to do it I am definitely going to try to fix it myself - will do it next Spring
