OH BOY! My dsil just brought me the machine from accross the road. We have decided the letter might be a G. making it a 128, according to a very helpful member of this board. It is the first machine i have even seen with the bullet shaped bobbin case. The decals are bright and in good shape. thejapan isblistered a little, and the wiring is very scary. all in all i am a happy camper!
