SOLD - Singer 401G

[LeilaMay]

Lovely cleaned and serviced (by me) with professionally reconditioned motor. Running very nicely.
Has complete set of cams and attachments in original plastic drawer unit.

I would be happy to sell the machine in a standard case rather than in a cabinet if someone would prefer it like that? Cabinet would then be for sale separately. Do get in touch i this would be of interest 

The original Singer table is 33 inches wide, and has three drawers to right hand side.

£100

Collection in Glastonbury or within 50 or 60 miles at a tea shop? 

Will take complete set of photographs tomorrow - this a quick snap from when I first cleaned it . . .

Lovely machine! It's a very fair price for a complete, reconditioned example too. I was lucky enough to get hold of one a year or so ago though, so won't be driving down to Somerset this time.

[LeilaMay]

Thank you for taking the time to comment favourably though, I really appreciate it )

Oh I wish I had the space    not even a space under the stairs which would be sacrilege for a machine so full of character and looking so smartly presented.

Shameless enabling - coffee table, bedside table, hall table, kitchen table!

Here we go with a better set of photographs of the machine and table.
If I've missed anything or you have questions do please ask 

Firstly, the machine, the third shot shows the top open for the use of pattern cams.

Next shots of the cabinet - it's 33 inches wide, I can get other dimensions if anyone needs them. Three neat drawers on the right, yes they do slant like that

[LeilaMay]

Lastly the cams, attachments and bobbins (there's a spare bobbin case too.)

[LeilaMay]

I realise I didn't take a photograph of the cabinet 'extended'
The section of top which lifts out to allow room for the machine to swing up can be clipped onto the let hand end of the cabinet top, extending the working area there by about 8 inches. I can photograph this in place if anyone would like to see it.

[LeilaMay]

Machine could be sold in a standard size case, rather than in the cabinet if folks don't have room for a cabinet - please get in touch if this is an option that would suit you

Hmm, could use that table for a dressing table when no in use.  Have a free standing mirror on the top, paint it up a bit!  Kinda shabby chic.

Didn't I just vow on another thread not to buy another second hand machine!

Do you have any info more info on the machine?  Never had one with cams.

Well there's a thread here on this forum about them

I haven't read through all this stuff, but hope it's helpful. You could also shout out for opinions in the Vintage section, several people have them. I like it a lot, but with arthritic wrists I'm finding the heavier machines harder to handle and I keep having to ask OH, so I'm moving to smaller machines.

Interrupting here to say that you can download the manual from ismacs.net .

I learnt to sew on one of these as my mother had one, so I'm very fond of the machine.
