    Hmm - and you want how much?? .... oh but this one does have a light added ... guess that makes up for the missing plate?? .. how much???

    Well if I just spray paint this all over with this speckly paint to make it look like a godzilla finish it will cover the imperfections then if I add a "newer" light and motor, I can say that it is now "improved"!

    Those modifications may have been made back in the 1940s or 50s. There were a bunch of old treadle machines “electrified” and turned into portables back then.

    Isn’t “Improved Family” the name that Singer gave to that model of machine?

    You're right - the repaint could have been done then to 'update' it - looks like they made a new base for it

    For some reason, I thought the 306 was a little "burlier" around the "midriff" - the lower pillar Could be though.

    I like that “burlier around the midriff”! That could describe a lot of us objects....

    I may be wrong, but here’s my Singer 306W24 for comparison....
