A friend in search of a good vintage machine under $200 has found this on CL

We don't know if these Sears machines were made by Singer in those days, although I thought they were until late 70s/early 80s. If they were, is there a way to determine what Singer model it would be/the year made/the value/whether it's a desirable one?
She can't afford to make a mistake and this will be her primary sewing/quilting machine. I told her I knew the right folks to ask and hoped to get back to her in few hours. Love y'all!
