I have a blackside (I love the finish on this! That's what makes it so unique to me. Ours is a 1940 #128 (I call her Pretty!) She has a knee bar and no pedal. The cord is for the light. Sews very well. Is louder than "Baby" with the cord so I usually use "Baby" she has the slick finish and is a 57 model 99K. I love this one! ;) She sews like a dream! I haven't used my Brother machines since I got these 2. ;) I hope me posting a picture will help you to see a similar model up close.
Here's the machine that I have: 1940 Model
