There's nothing "odd" about that, we're sisters under the skin. ;-)
I have two 401As (down from 3), the XL5000, a Bernette MO234, a Huskylock 936, and a Babylock BLCS coverstitch. I gave one of the 401As to my older DD and gave her the spare Huskylock 910 a couple of years ago after I won the 936. I also sent a Babylock BL101 blindstitch machine to a member of the SewBiz list, after I decided I prefer hand stitching some hems and for machine hems I like the 401A blindstitch just fine.
I would love to find a good home in/near PDX for a Singer
500 taking up space. It was my DMIL's and I don't much like it.Beverly
