looks like a 401a - she's right, look under where it sets - does everything turn? Check the stitch regulator - if those foul up they can be fun to fix.
Thank you Miriam. Where would I or can I look it up anywhere to find out when/where it is manufactured? I am not sure I want to get it. The cabinet looks really nice. It was her grandmother's and has everything with it. Asking $80. :-D
Its worth every penny of it! Try to offer her $50 and go from there till you get it around $65-$70 The accessories and cabinet are worth that alone.

Here is where to look

Thanks Billy. I am not sure what is great about this machine. I have tried to figure out if it the model my Mom had when I was growing up. She can't remember. Is the tension fussy? Or anything else on the machine?

Here's the number the lady gave me 172165 but I didn't find anything on the site you gave me.
