Looks like the one my mother had and I didn't feel I needed
another one so my sister took it for granddaughter. My mother
got years of good service with it as she sewed for other people
for years. It is still running good. Congrats.

I still use the 401A that my Mom bought brand in 63. I've been sewing on it since I was 14 or 15 years old. I just take into the OSMG every year and she just keeps on ticking. Wish I knew how to use the buttonhole attachment, it still work also, if I knew how to use it.

Next time you shop, can I go with you!?? Those older machines that work are like the industrial workhorses of sewing. You can not break them! Congratualtions on your new machine, and on being at the right place, at the right time.

Now SEW!
LOL

That's my Mom's machine!! I learned to sew on it. She was given a computerized machine (Elna I think) and after trying it, gave it to my sister and went back to her Singer.

Cherryb - look on google.search for a manual for your machine. They are urally floating around out there. I found one for a machine I thought would never get one for. Good luck.
