The 301's are the best! Do you have the long bed or the short bed version? The short beds will fit into certain cabinets and card tables too.
I have a black short bed, a card table and a trapazoid cabinet for it. (to cabinet mount a 301, you need a special metal 'cradle' that singer made. You can find them for sale on ebay, etc.).
My card table is a really neat contraption I found off of craigslist. It's metal legs... and will fit a 301, 221 or a 403. I have a 403 and the 301, so it's pretty neat. You can check out singers website or ismacs website for tables/cabinets used with which machines.
Love the 301 great great machine. And the extra 3 or 4 pounds to carry doesn't bother me at all. Great machine for classes.
Enjoy!

So happy for you that you'll be using the old 301.
I recently bought on ebay a 201-2 because that's what Mom had in the art deco cabinet I've inherited from her.
In checking both, I'd have purchased a 301 if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to replicate the machine Mom used all the while I was growing up. I'll be happy with the 201-2, and I'm betting you'll love your 301. So good you didn't get rid of it!

Love my 301 long bed. Purchased the shorter bed just so that I could put it in my featherweight table. Love the fact that the feed dogs drop. Actually hunting for a two tone so that I'll have a pair. Hubby is not sure how many machines I will stop at, they are multiplying :)
