I have a chance to obtain a Singer 301 installed in it's original cabinet that was bought new in 1950. I don't know much about that model but my web searches seem to indicate it is capable of heavy duty sewing which is what I am looking for. I have a modern Janome for all of the other type of sewing that I currently do but would like to aquire a good heavy duty model for those jobs that are beyond the ability of the Janome. What are the opinions of such a machine and what would be a fair, ie high/low price, to offer the person selling it. It is part of an estate from a woman who was a dedicated quilter of long standing and is presumably in top working order as she used it up until her death. Thanks for any input in this regard.
