Vintage Machines / Uh-oh... 201 reasons why my wife will not be happy!

I couldn't help it, honest.
A Singer 201K on eBay caught my attention, and I placed a bid which happened to be the winning one: £33 + £10 postage. I don't think that's too bad for a 201. Quite how I'm going to explain it to my wife, I don't know.
It needs a new power cable, but I plan to experiment with a DC motor rather than the supplied AC one. I hope it's not in need of too much attention internally. A clean and an oiling is what I'm hoping for.
