Need info ref: Singer 201
Yep, need info about a Singer 201.
It's black
weights a metric ton
has the potted motor
according to the serial number (AK 542427) was allotted 6-26-51
it's got the centennial badge
Now, what series is it? 201-2 or????

Yep 201-2 (most likely....I don't know much about the other subs)
I have a Centennial 201-2. Nice, quiet machine. Great stitches. Large harp, easy to get quilt bulk thru. I got a deal on mine, paid $15 at a thrift store because it didn't have a power cord. Paid $10 for that on ebay.

My 201 is a 201-3 with the external motor. They seem to have been mainly a Canadian machine and few seem to show up in the USA. On the other hand, I rarely see the 201-2 machine with the potted motor in Canada although Singer made far more of them. My 201 is such a powerful smooth stitcher. It never hesitates with several layers of denim or veers off if encounters thicker fabric seam intersections.
