I heard these may be remakes. I could not find information on the web about this serial number.
The two I have seen are in really great condition, leading me to think they are remakes and not old machines.
EB, the machines you are talking about are reproductions of the original Singers. Do these machines have the Sphinx, Redeye, Lotus decals? The repro's used the really ornate decals of the originial Singers to replicate a new version of the vintage machine. These repro's are a little over the top - not like the original decals, almost an enhanced version of the originals. Can you post a picture of these machines for us to see them? They are probably from the late 1980's or 1990's. Also, just for your information this repro's are not the quality of the original by any means! Actually, the information I found on the machines with ND- to NY serial numbers is that those machines were made in Taichung, Taiwan.
