It has a cutout and brace so that the machine fits flush in the table. It's a folding table. It was made/sold for the featherweight. There's one for the 301, too. (I'm not sure if there are two different tables or just one that is adjustable.) I don't have one. I've just seen photos online.

A-mazing. I suspect it all lies in how often you go there.
I hit goodwill about twice a year, last time it was to find a couple of big pots for pet water bowls. I don't look at machines though

I lol'd at your user name. My last name is close to Edsel and it was one of my many nick names in high school. Do you collect those, too?

Wow you sure are fortunate - happy for you! Been looking for a Featherweight table for a long time without luck. All of your purchases were unbelievably inexpensive.

and I’m in the same boat as the others-our Goodwill prices most things at near-retail price. Never any sewing machine bargains!

Here's the Featherweight table with the insert removed and with the machine.
