Well, not all of them because I've never had one wired like that. But - the only Singers I've gotten in cabinets are my 201-2, a Rocketeer I sold and my 404. I suppose the 201 could have been hard wired originally, but I don't think the cabinet I got it in was original to the machine.

Wow. They took good care of it. I think it's good. I paid $150 for my 401. Manual attachments desk cabinet. Test drove with a piece of denim folded over repeatedly. Your machine and cabinet look great!!

Your machine looks great! By the time you've cleaned and oiled it, it will surely move freely. I got a Minnesota Model A head for my cousin and it was "frozen", but with a lot of Tri-Flo and some gentle heat from my hair dryer, we were able to loosen it and now it works great! I inherited a 201 -- my son found it and it was sitting in my garage for God only knows how long -- The needle bar was also "frozen" and we were able to get that one moving, too! You'll always be able to get help and instruction here on the QB!
