Singer 401A
 
Got her for 20.00 last weekend at a flea market. Brought her home, cleaned and oiled her and she purrs.

Really great find!!!

They had two just alike but the other one was missing the bobbin cover. They were both in cabinets but I didn't need or have room for a cabinet. They were asking 35 each so I talked him into selling one out of the cabinet for 20.

I am jealous! No, I am really happy for you, what a great deal!

Awesome. Enjoy sewing.

Usually when I find one for less than $50 it has the selection knobs gummed up a bit.

Congratulations! You are going to LOVE her! I've had mine for 33 years now...we're best buds!

Lucky you! I paid a lot more for mine a few years ago. This is a great machine, but not all that intuitive. Do you have the manual?
