Joe,
In a nut shell here is my theory on this. Singer put out a 'cheap' machine without a light switch. The Singer stores and techs started complaining. Singer then added the switch. Probably it was to save face, since they realized that it was hurting their reputation.

So .... was that a cost cutting thing, or did they add the switch later - or, were those switches added by the LSMG for the owners later?
My theory is that the switch was added later as the manual I downloaded from Singer shows the switch.
At any rate, this is the only machine I've got that does not have some form of switch for the light.
I do believe I may add one in the near future.
