QD, I seem to remember that such a s/n was a reproduction singer. Look it over carefully. Was it made in china? If so, it's an inferior repro model. Look at the decals, if they are way colorful, and not like the Sphinx's you see on this vintage site, then they are 'new'. If that's what you want... okay. But if you want a real antique machine, the repro is not for you. Billy has told us in another thread that the Chinese made, repro are mechanically inferior machines.
