Thanks Sandi. After this machine I am going to quit looking for a month or so. My head is a spinnin' too much. Besides, I have a lot of cleaning to do. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Kit, that shuttle carrier is for a Singer 128, which is a bit different. I would not buy it, myself.
On e-bay, there is a seller named Cindy Peters at Stitches-in-Time. E-mail her and she what she has to offer. She may have what you need. I have found her to be very reliable.

I am so excited. I was looking at craigslist in Orange County (I have a DD who lives there) and found this 201 in a Queen Anne cabinet with the matching stool. I sent email to my DD to see if she could follow through and pick it up for me. Next time we're down in California to visit our kids I will get it and bring it home, but for now it is in my DD's apt. The cabinet definitely needs work. I don't know what kind of condition the head is in, but I'm looking forward to restoring it, with help from all of you. It's a 1948 Singer model 201 from Elizabethport. And as a novice in vintage machines, I'm so proud of myself that I could identify it as a 201 from the picture on craigslist.

Thanks Frostiedee
