I love my 1st, black 301a. I bought her in a case. The next black 301a, I was lucky enough to find on CL and got her, in a great desk cabinet, with stool for only $100. The next one is a 301 tan in a trapizod cabinet. My DS girlfriend found it on the curb for trash pickup! I had to buy new power cord and bobbin case. Still need to get tension right.
I am telling you all this..because..they have a way of finding a way to your house, so you have to be careful or you will end up not being able to move around the house. LOLOLOLOL

qb, we both bought our new 301A s at close to the same time. Mines a short bed black too - 1956. They could be sisters! I got much needed advice here too. I really enjoyed cleaning her up and she sews beautifully. Already half way into a small quilt with her! I don't think I've ever loved a sewing machine before, but i do now with my 301!
That is so sweet that you named yours after your grandma! If i did that I would have to name mine Valborg! LOL!
Happy sewing to you and Dorothy!
