The 301 and the 301A are exactly the same machine except that they were made at different factories. If I remember correctly (maybe someone else knows for sure) the machines with the 'A' on them were made in Anderson, N.C. or something to that effect.

The bulk of the 301's were made in Anderson SC. There was an initial group made in NJ but the rest were made in Anderson. When the plant closed in SC the few remaining bodies were sent back to the NJ plant.

I have just located a 301A. The man who has it says the needlebar is broken. Is that common and what other damage could have been casued when that broke? He is asking $65 in cabinet, which sounds quite high to me, but I see many of you get your machines for less than the asking price. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanx, luv2learn
