Deara, those are nice looking machines. I'm semi looking for a Rocketeer, but I don't need one. I like the table for the 301.
I am looking at a Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine Model 30 to purchase for my grandkids. It looks like a work horse and indestructible. Anyone have one?

Well I did some work on the case and cleaned it up to match the cleaned machine. Here is some before and after pics of the case. Glenn

Inquiring mind wants to know. Which make/model machines uses the boat shuttle? I will keep an eye out for one, but a heads up is nice. :mrgreen:

I will do some research and see what I can find. Billy may have a source. The top is okay except for the wood repairs. I have seen empty cases for sale on Ebay. Let me seed what I can do. Glenn

I have never had any problem with the original hardware not holding the machine, but you can put latch style locks on the outside of the case. If you do I recomend that you put two on each end evenly spaced. Glenn
