Looks like departed sewing machine viewing. Gladiolas would be nice.

Sounds like the time I figured out that pantyhose and carpeted stairs were a bad combination. I had no idea I knew how to tuck and roll, but I did, and bounced off the opposite wall at the end of the stair well.

Glad to hear you're OK though.

Maybe this was the only way to save it? One can only hope. Sigh...

Hm,... sewage accident? I'm not sure what else could make a machine look like this. (Note, we're in a prairie location. We don't have a moisture problem) Notice that it's been waiting for a new home since Nov...?

It's a 401A and there is a 201K manual with it.

I've seen those 401s look pristine on the outside and be so gummed up on the inside it isn't funny - I got a Singer 500 in much worse shape - nothing moved either - it is now my parts machine - it has saved the life of many machines. I'm so glad I bought it and my pocket book is very glad I parted it out.
