Might suit someone here. And if it does, just know I'm jealous  :P Never anything other than plastic rubbish in my area.

I just love that I can come here to crow about things like this. Beats seeing my husband's face glazing over when I start my ranting. 0_0

401s are lovely machines and have a nice range of stitches... reasonably strong too, all metal (except the hand wheel cog) and direct drive, but they are prone to sticky cam followers.

A bit of a vintage sewing machine nut! Singers: 500a, 401g, 48k Elnas: lotus SP & grasshopper, Bernina 530-2 F+R 504, Pfaff 30, Cresta T-132

That would have been a bargain for the table alone.

Someone got a bargain! The difficulty is always finding the right machine nearby.
