Thanks so much!!! I looked on the auction site and yes, I think it is a 185. There is currently a blonde wood cabinet only up for sale that is almost identical to mine. My machine has a smooth chrome head plate rather than the painted ones I see there. At one time I had her date of manufacture, but I will have to do that research again once I get her purring again. She is the size of the 99K and FW I had at one time. If I get her gone, then I just have my treadle and 201 to find new homes for! Thanks again, you guys are awesome!
