When I looked up the serial number I found it listed as a 28K.

Jon - thanks for the tip about JB Weld. It's a bit pricey. I might have to smash a few things to create more repairs to justify the expense. It is only a tiny area to rejoin. My husband muttered something about having some metal glue in the shed (possibly) but it's blowing a gale today, so perhaps he'll have a rummage tomorrow if the shed is still there.

Sharon - Get well soon!
Muv, thanks for the information on the 28/128. Cathy told me one time that there is more to determining whether a machine is a 28 or 128 than the position of the bobbin winder. Thank you for the reminder - letting us know that it is not as cut and dried as just the placement of the bobbin winder! That is interesting!
