Well Cathy, you hit the jack pot again! Wish you all the best with Ruth! I'm still looking for the 301.

My friend bought one from Britian,little did she know it wasn't the same voltage as we use, she had to get a new motor and all new plugs for it...a lot of money.

I packed the kids in the car, stopped at the bank, got a coffee at DD and off we went :mrgreen: It belonged to the sellers MIL. The decals are wonderful but there is some chipped paint on the light hood--not a problem.

I can't believe it!! I've been drooling over everyone elses 'new' 201-2's for the past few weeks and have restrained myself

from bidding on one on eBay. Now I don't have any more machines on my "wish list"---maybe this will be my last one :roll: ;)

I just checked the serial number and it was manufactured on April 8, 1953--woooo hoooo--my birth year!

Great Find they are great work horses...
