There is a couple Singer machines that are lumped together under a model series. I believe the 6010 and 6020 is one of those and that the only difference is the number of built in stitches they have. But, don't quote me on that.

Hi Purplefiend,
Do you have a 101? and what is your opinion, of a potted motor.
Thank you

Will get pics of both when assembled then.
Got to get out to the garage and finish another machine case and some cabinet repairs before the weather gets stinky too. Ah so many things to do, so few hours.

Time just seems to fly by! Totally off the topic of sewing machines. For those of you who live up in the Northern CA area. I didn't realize that there are farms in the Vacaville, area. I have seen Alpacas before up in Woodland.
I am going to go visit this ranch today. The Alpacas are so very cute. I am into crochet, and love the alpaca yarn.

Anamaria,
The 101 was Singers first potted motor. It was very expensive and wasn't their best seller. The motor wasn't as strong as the later 201 and 15-91 potted motors were. I have one and it is a very nice sewer and a cute machine.
The motor at this age will most likely need to be lubed and possibly rewired. The instruction manual gives directions on how to remove the motor for servicing. There is a set of beveled gears in side of the machine that will need grease and can only be accessed by removing the motor, not too terribly difficult. I can help you if needed.
