Here is a screenshot of the ISMACS G Serial numbers Mickey2 referred to with red arrows pointing to the range of numbers that include G0082927. Please note that the scroll bar location.

I forgot to mention last night that it does appear that you can use readily available low shank feet

If you want to it's possible to refinish the machine, these decals are available a few places. It's a bit expensive, and involves a few hours work. Compared to other things we do and buy it's not that bad though. There's the sticky thread on this forum on how to improve the finish; results are impressive considering the state of some of the machines. If the machine is to be used again the sewing bed needs have a nice, even, clean surface; it needs to be put in a treadle table or have motor and light fitted.
