Question Antique dealer called us!

Now we are getting phone calls from antique dealers. So we had to go look, right? Well, DH thought we needed to. Sure enough 2 more machines jumped in the back of our truck. A 1938 model 15-91 in a nice cabinet for $25. The instruction manual doesn't hardly look like its been opened. Also had automatic zigzagger with extra cams, the buttonhole maker and a bunch of feet. As soon as I get over pneumonia I'll post pics.

We also pd $15 for a red eye with almost pristine decals. It's a model 15 dated 1918. But it's got a motor bolted on and the round plate on the back is smooth and black with a place for the light wiring to go through. Would the motor and light be original or is this a converted treadle? It will sit in the table that came with it. But the table was originally for a treadle and at one time had a coffin top. But the legs don't have anything indicating Singer and the foot part and treadle parts are missing.

Any insights you might have will be appreciated.
