The machine was in a cabinet with a knee control. It had all the attachments minus the buttonholer. Was asking $20.00 but came down to $15.00. We don't really need any more sewing machines especially electric.
Here's pictures of the 128 I told you about eariler. The one that we got for $16.00.

I might flip the 301 but not quite sure yet I will know more after a get to cleaning and playing with it. I just do not like the electric machines or as some here knows as an aversion :mrgreen:

I took the motor and light off my Singer 99K that had a 220v motor and used the motor from my 15-90K that I now treadle. I tried hand cranking the 99K and I am a better treadler than hand cranker. Here it is with the hank
crank that came with my 201K.
