Yes, I noticed that. Also I have that plate on the front of mine and yours doesn't. It's very interesting how these machines differ.
Billy, Miz Johnny was having the oil plate on the head of the machine indicative of machines made earlier than the ones without the moveable plate and just the oil holes, or later versions? I would think the plate was indicative of an earlier machine, making it more accessible to oil and care for?
