Hi Quilters
I recently acquired a Singer 401 G13 that is in perfect condition.
This machine is pristine. It looks like was in a time warp.
I am finding it very hard to locate details on this particular model on the net.
Does anyone have any ideas where I could look or what the history of this machine is?

Your 401 is a German made Singer, but the 401 came out well after the war. This page has some information you may enjoy;

Most items you may need for it can be found at Sew-Classic and other suppliers. Ismac has a manual on their site for the 401.
I’m sure you will really enjoy that machine!

According to http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...s-400-499.html it was made from 1960-1964, however, it says it has a tubular bed, which I have not seen any with a tubular bed. There is a manual that I think will work for your machine at http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...e-manuals.html
Does your machine have the "Accessory Drawer" that fits to the left of the bed?
