The tension is numbered and found on the front. It has a light whose cover is broken but it looks like an add-on which is clipped on from the screw for the face plate. it is missing all power cords and foot controller but it's a 3 pronger and I have some to share. It is not a potted motor. I will see if I can get the 2 pics to download - my camera died then.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what model this might be?
The bottom picture shows how the light is hooked onto Fred.
I have no idea what machine you have either. I have a 3/4 size 15 clone so I wonder if Singer turned out a few 3/4 size 15s? Hopefully somebody else with no pictures will hijack your topic and we can figure this one out. The pictures I would like to see are the dark underside and the bobbin area. Have you set it next to a clone and looked at the two together? I have only had one of the 3/4 size 15 clones - I don't think they are very common and that one isn't very common either. The expert would be Rain Noe. His blog is:
