Wish I still had my mom's. Only difference was the shape of the stitch length lever. Great machine. Will sew just about anything. I "helped" hem cuptowels sitting on mom's lap about 1950 or so. Made many of my own clothes in HS, including a prom dress. Then years later made my kids costumes, covered my couch, etc. You'll not be sorry you got that beauty.

That's a nice find. It's always good to have the electrical checked on the older machines. I was given a 201 that someone wanted out of their house. I cost me less than $100 to have it cleaned, rewired, new foot pedal. I thought it was well worth the money.

I probably have it's twin sister - made in NJ in 1956 - and I LOVE it!! It's the machine I use first, unless I'm garment sewing. Congrats, you'll not reqret it. Oh, I got mine this past summer on craigslist. It was listed for $100 and I got it for $90. Best $90 I ever spent!
