Wow, Thank you everyone for all the information you've all posted. I would love to see pictures of the other Stradivaro's and or the Singer's this was modeled after.
Soon after I posted my question here, I did clean her up, and got her serviced, (they said she was in beautiful condition), and bought an 'old' new desk for her. Which I still need to 'modify' just for her. *If you can't tell, I simply LOVE my little machine here*.
Once again, I'm sorry for not replying or thanking everyone sooner. I lost my way back to this place until tonight when I got an e-mail from here.
(I'll bookmark it better this time :-) ).
