Where are the ones that were made in the 1960s, and later, classified?

Are any other brands besides Singer "good" to acquire?

Is there a time period where the machines seemed "better" than other time frames?

I had heard that Singers went into a decline - maybe 1970s? Is that true?

Looking forward to answers. Thank you.
