Deal or No Deal?
 

Found a black 301 for $75.00. Ad says it works and it looks to be in good condition but it is for the machine and foot pedal only, no case or anything. I see they are selling for much more on ebay but not sure that just the machine is worth it since I am new to vintage machines...bitten badly by the bug though in the last month I have acquired a 66 and 221....lol

I’d buy it if you can test it first. I have my mom’s 301 and I love sewing on it.

I agree. That way you will know it works. When I bought mine, I didn't test it. The bobbin case was missing. I started talking to the woman about other stuff and didn't look for the bobbin case. Those are expensive to replace.

Great price if it has the bobbin case and it sews! Love the machine! I have 3.......

Sounds like a good deal to me. They are really nice machines. Even if there is no bobbin case it's still a good deal.

Ditto...I also have 3 and LOVE THEM ALL!...go for it but test drive and ck bobbin case

If the machine is complete, then it's a good price. I want a black short bed so I'd pay it in a heartbeat.

I have my mom's 301, too! I learned to sew on that machine and still love using it.

So, did you buy it?

I am a huge 301 fan! if it runs, take it for sure!
