    Yes. Double the power. The formula is P= IV where P is Watts, I is amps and V is voltage.
    So it is equivalent to a .76 A motor running on 110/120 V

    301 needing overhaul, priced at $25. And cabinet leaf appears to be broken. But I would buy it if I lived closer and had a little more space.

    Another sowing machine. I'm digging the old seam binding, and the cams in their original boxes, but really, "PRICELESS amount of notions, a lifetime worth of collecting"?
    Too bad the cabinet has been painted, but still a 503 for someone to clean up.

    Not a bad deal. Those 503s are good machines. Easy to use and maintain. No stitch selector to get all stuck up.

    I forgot I had this one, picked it up as a freebie when I bought another machine a few months ago.
    It does not have a cord would it be a candidate to convert to HC?[ATTACH=CONFIG]431743[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]431745[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]431746[/ATTACH]

    That one would make a wonderful HC. You can notch the wheel or buy a spoked hand wheel and put it on. I worry about notching - what if my finger gets caught in the notch. I'm kinda klutzy. Cost for the cord would be cheaper than a hand wheel and a HC. If it needs new wiring, too, it might be a toss up.

    Well, at least 2 of the 3 spool pins are missing, one of the flip up ones and the auxiliary one. The one where that spool of thread is may or may not be missing. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but the auxiliary one may be hard to replace.

    Wow. I hate when they don't show the front of the machine, though.
