Singer 401A
 

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

Awsome for you both! Every machine needs love and an owner :)

I love to hear about scores...good job on spotting it!!!

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?

Congratulations! I have had mine for 55 years and use her every day; only 1 trip to the hospital in all that time.

Bought mine new in 1958 and she still sews everything as good now as when I bought her. I am happy you found her and know you will get a lot of use from her.

Cricket, I don't have a hard copy, I downloaded one from the net.

That will work just fine. It isn't always clear, without the manual, what you should do on this machine if you aren't used to it.
