grannysewer,
The Belgelcor Universal motors are or were made in Belgium. They are very good torquey motors. But FYI, the brush caps were made from some sort of plastic that is now very fragile. Be super gentle with them if you remove them.
Your machine is a Japanese made HA-1 clone. Not a Singer. Your picture is so dark I can't make out any details so that's all I can say.
Look underneath for manufacturers marks. My HOTHER ( my avatar pic ) was made by JUKI and is one of the best sewing machines we own.
I'm going to have my wife bury it with me so I can sew robes in the afterlife.
