the three 15 clone type posted none are the same. I'd like to see more of these.
when I bought mine there was also an other sew mor. all I remember it was the boxy style/ modern
sharon of whats posted your would be the oldest, that's going by the Bakelite feed dog drop knob and the serial number on top the bed
look at the placement of the drop knob on mine vs on joes. also the shape of the body on ours vs yours

When I get home later I will take a pic of the back and post it. It has a light fixture but there isn't a cord connecting it anymore. It has an odd little outlet on the side part of the box that you plug the machine and light into.

Sharon,
Some of those plastic lights are screwed together and can be rewired. I believe all the old metal lights can be. The current ones as sold by Sew-Classic and others are just glued together. If the wire goes bad or the switch wears out, toss and replace.
I had to put a replacement on my 202 because it didn't come with a light. In the pic above I have a Singer fish eye light on it. That was replaced by one of the current ones I described above.
I wouldn't worry too much but if you can find an older one it will complement your machine better.
