I just took a Singer 66 and Standard (Singer clone 15) to the shop last week to be serviced. I was just looking for a treale to possibly put one of these in.
    On the Singer Website for serial numbers with no letter designation, that number falls into 1896

    Hard to believe the old girl looks so good for being that old! She has been well taken care of. You have a beauty. Mine is early 1900's and didn't look near as good when I got her. Belts are easy to find on line and so are the little staples that hold them together. You did good!!

    Just remember if the machine doesn't work any singer can fit in the cabinet.( older models 1980 or older)
