What do you know about the 401A Singer card tables?
#11
I have a table like the one above, Candace's post. But mine is not nearly as pretty as hers, especially since it has been an everyday use for me this past year. I had myself set up in my sunroom to sew, using my FW on a set of piled up magazines and the extra space on the end beside for pins, scissors, etc., and the space on the left for my ironing space; so now the table has a BAD water spot on it where I hit the steam button too many times too close to the edge of the towel. it works for me, and water stains don't bother me--my kids can have it auctioned off for $5 someday.....It has had a good useful life with me.

A little Howard's Feed'N'Wax might hide a lot of the damage and cup rings

I was referring to the card table with a rectangular cutout that fits the bottom of a full size case. It looks a lot like the one for the FW but does not have any notches - however it does come with the cutout in two sizes, the other fits the 3/4 size case
Though you did do very well to get that cabinet for $80 as that is quite rare - did you get the special knee pedal to go with it? If you are saying that's a full size case in the cabinet, that would be very rare. I've not run into any literature saying Singer made that cabinet for a full size machine.

This machine came with the foot pedal set up, so no knee lever for it. That table holds a 15-90, it's definitely for a full sized machine. It's the only one I've ever seen. When I went to see it, I thought I was going to look at a portable machine in a bentwood only. I thought the table matched by coincidence in the seller's photo.

Hmm, I've got one of those card tables out in the garage! It belonged to my MIL - not sure how we ended up with it, but we've used it for years just as an extra card table. I know the hole in it is too big for a FW, but haven't measured it. The top is in pretty bad shape after 2 generations of kids using it, and sitting out in the garage for 25 years. I'll have to pull it out and measure the opening - maybe one of you can tell me what it is.
Do they have some sort of model number on them anywhere?
