Nice find! I have also been wanting one of these but they are usually too pricey on ebay with shipping and I have not found any in my area. Enjoy your machine. What was in all those drawers?

Your machine is beautiful. I was ecstatic when I got my 401 with the desk cabinet. I paid $150.00 and love the way it works. Does anything and everything. Sews through leather also. Congrats! More photos please and show the rest of the extra goodies. We love goodies. Like sprinkles on the icing of a cake!!

This machine was as clean as a whistle. My DH cleaned and oiled it anyway (my request). The only thing needed was to replace the rubber bobbin winder which cost about $2 or $3.
