You got an excellent deal all for that price! Enjoy!
Monica, did you get that backwards or am I misunderstanding what you mean? The Model 15 class has a tension disk on the face plate like if you are looking at the face of the machine. The Model 66 has the tension disk on the side of the head of the machine - like right where your nose would be as you watch your stitches from the side -- where most machines have the tension disk.

Nope! As you look at the front of the machine, if the tension dial/disk is on the front of the machine it is a 66, and if the tension is on the side (on the face plate) it is a 15 class. That is what I meant.
