Default Singer 115-1 treadle

I just got my Singer 115 all cleaned up and oiled last night. She finally sews!!! The serial number is : #G3702481
It has one major rust spot next to the "S"on the front of the machine. It was totally frozen with rust, nothing moved.
The decals are mostly intact, I can't believe how well it sews. The machine is currently living in my franken treadle; top from a coffin top Singer and Elgin(by Free) irons. It uses standard 15x1 needles.
The first 2 pictures were taken today after last night's cleaning and oiling, it has the face plate from a Singer 15-88. The original tension assembly is so rusty that the tension disks are fused with rust.
The last picture was taken the day I brought it home; it had a lovely mud dauber's nest in the pillar.
