Thanks for the info. That's the first thing I did, hopped over to the Singer website to look up the numbers, the AL and AM series ran 1951-1955, a five year span, they are probably the exact same machine except for the tag on the older one. They look exactly the same to me, even the manuals haven't changed the wording all that much, just the cover and size. I ordered some new bobbin winder tires, light bulbs, a marked throat plate and other assorted goodies from www.sew-classic.com today, the prices were great.
