What isn't to like about a slant-o-matic? I can see what I am sewing - my neck doesn't hurt from straining to see the needle. I thought I would never get that 401G to work - it has so many issues when I found it. I could see it had good bones. So when I found a 403 I snapped it up. I bonded to that one too. My best friend got one from me - she has one of those computerized Vikings and a very nice Pfaff her mother left her and guess what she uses.... Yeah, the 403. They are so simple and yet so well made.

Laura,
Did they come in any color but beige and white? Joe |
Joe - the 411G and the 401 are slightly different shades of beige. LOL

Look at my avator to see what I had to do to hide my 500a - I convinced my wife that I had converted it into a jet backpack! Tate |
The repair man says he can do it - I'm not sure how much he charges - I've been thinking of converting one to treadle just to see how he would do it. The 401G and the 411G will treadle just like they are. They have a knock out for the belt, a channel for it to go through and slightly different body than the 401A.

Joe,
I've only ever seen beige and white... including the hand-crank toy version I got on ebay. I do think the beige varied slightly - maybe paint lots from year to year. Laura |
LOL Joe, you deserve to keep the machine. Just get her another machine to take her mind off of it.
