    New to me Singer 301

    Just thought I'd share here.
    This is my first machine, and I don't even know how to sew yet.
    I got this Singer 301 made in 1951 back when Harry S Truman was President off of a nice older lady from Craigslist for $50 including the table and some accessories.
    She said it needed the tension adjusted.
    I thought I would give it a shot.
    Does anyone have any experience with these things as far as maintenance or anything?
    Parts, lube, tools or anything.

    I gave it the once over, it WORKS & appears to be all original.
    This baby weighs in at 16 pounds of METAL!
    Metal gearing to the needle.
    I think the bumper of my car weighs less.

    Super easy to clean. I use a can of compressed air and clear grease and oil. Check out this site http://www.singer301.com

    Lots of diy folks like the 301's.
