I think I may have found a manual, but it does not use a model number, it just says White Rotary Electric Machine. The picture looks like the one I have, but it is just the back side. http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...ion_Manual.htm

I would appreciate any help in figuring this out. How to clean it up and all that.

I did find an article that showed the FR Whites and there was one that looked similar to mine, but in all bronze! Imagine that. So pretty.
