Thanks, very much appreciated. I can't see 201 on it anywhere, I tried looking on the internet, found the year ok, but that was all. You obviously have much better search powers than I.

Excellent, thanks for your help

I got my grans electric one. My dad still has the hand powered one. When i next go to see him I'll dig out the serial no from that one and see when it's from.

Right I have been more than happy with my 185K for all me woolly needs,




But all your talk of 201K made me want one ,,,,,,

Right I have managed to clean and oil mine and I am very impressed so smooth are thay all like that or is it the potted motor?



Not mad on the base unit I might hunt an old seven drawer treadle base from a 66 out to replace it

hi....heres three more 201's that have been added to my collection since the first five....i'm at 15 now and we all know who to blame....

heres a 'blood and pus' coloured aluminium bodied one, this time with dark brown attachments...if memory serves me correctly this one is bilmos fault...erm, no actually, i stand corrected, its macs fault....cost me 63 inc. postage quid, near mint condition:







this is the direct drive 'potted motor' 201-k2 version that was turbogirls fault...oooops, typo sorry....i meant mac....got this for 50 quid....near mint condition...









and this is a knee operated version...cost me 60 i think?....again near mint condition and again macs fault!

Wow, is that a kneelifter? Probably the first time I've seen a domestic machine with that.

The lever you see in the pictures controls the motor, not the foot

Ah, what a shame. Otherwise I would consider buying one for home. I miss having a machine at home. Well well, I guess I'll have to be content with the industrials at work.
