This one had the stupid white tape all the way from front to back - it was the hardest part to get cleaned up. There are still quite a few scratches, pin rash and missing paint but I like the look makes me feel like someone loved it. AND from the looks and feel of the machine someone must have done quite a bit of sewing - turns VERY freely - they must have kept the lint cleaned out, too. Bottom side was nice and clean but has a glaze of dried oil.
This one came with a Singer chrome motor - it bolts on and swings around to the back - runs on a friction wheel. It still needs TLC and wiring. Took me all day on just the machine. It has a nice set of back clamp attachments, too. I haven't found a quick way to clean up bobbin winders with dried on oil. The tension was full of dried up oil.
