I gave one to the drama department of the local high school and providence smiled on me promptly, sending me a free 201-2. I did rewire it with that fabulous tutorial you just gave a link to, and we are going to be very happy together. There is still some 20 year old dirt here and there in her and she's crying for oiling, but I tried the stitches.....all true.BarbaraShowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026317469719944260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-42197760182244010612013-10-02T01:30:20.412-04:002013-10-02T01:30:20.412-04:00Wonderful stitches - very droolworthy!Wonderful stitches - very droolworthy!Abbinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-17517781885006394892013-10-01T21:47:13.049-04:002013-10-01T21:47:13.049-04:00gawd, that is beee-yew-tee-ful!!gawd, that is beee-yew-tee-ful!!ItMakesYouSmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637929960913689257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133305403334770394.post-23912513100156466732013-10-01T20:09:18.966-04:002013-10-01T20:09:18.966-04:00Re-wire the motor.

But I saw a nicely-wired one in the thrift shop today for $100, which is way over my usual self-imposed spending limit of $35.

If I can pass on the Kenmore 1654 and a nice Spartan in an original green case (bought because I thought I could find some kids who wanted to learn to sew), hubby says I can bring a 201 home. Ah, the perfect straight stitch, music to my eyes.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.com
