I got lucky and found this same machine in a thrift store for $50. Tested it out and fell in love with it. It came with all the attachments, manual, etc. Only thing I had to replace was that bobbin wheel rubber. The manual says that the machine is to be oiled after every use and the main gears are to be greased once a year. Whoever owned this machine before me took really good care of it. Wouldn't trade my machine for anything. 😀

According to the manual for the 201, the cups under the machine should be filled with "singer motor lubricant". I have a vintage tube of it and it is a clear grease.

Can be used to sew about anything you can get under the foot... continued mis-use will destroy any household sewing machine.

@@AlexanderDyer The "pecan pie" grease is a build up of old oil and lint. No 201's ever left the Singer factory with grease on the gears it was always oil and the quickest way to screw them up was to grease them and that's from the people who built them in Scotland.

I found an old Singer in a wood cabinet at a 4H yard sale last summer for $10 and only started “playing” with it a few days ago. I didn’t know what model I had until doing some research and found out it is a 201-2. I cleaned it off and since the tension knob seemed strange I took that off to clean and found the piece that would act as the number part of the dial is missing. The machine seems to date from 1937 and has a tension that didn’t yet use numbers so I got everything back together and decided to try using it without that one piece. Since I haven’t yet serviced the machine I only did a few stitches and they were perfect! I just found your videos and am so glad I did. I was wondering if I would find some help with oiling the machine and your video is perfect. I have a question. The power cord is the old style that is cloth covered. It has no thin or worn spots that I can find. Is it ok to use or should that be replaced? I hoping this 201 is something I can use on a regular basis. Thanks for your help and videos!

Electrical question are funny in that if you feel the need to ask, you should probably get a professional since the stakes are rather high.

Over the past few months I’ve acquired several machines that need a bit of restoration and I’m finding I really enjoy working on them. I’ve already done a featherweight and have a 15-91 and a 128 in my immediate future. All of them are centennials so that makes it even more enjoyable. I will definitely proceed with caution with the 201 and thanks again for your advice. Did I mention your videos are the best I’ve found for taking care of the older machines? Please keep making them.

What kind of oil you use for the motor? For the 201 , do I need to use grease? In the motor wheel and under only ? . ?
