I don't know the age on it cause I can't find a serial #. If you get one you can call Husqvarna with the serial #and they can tell you how old it is. Husqvarna took over White.
Thank you for the information. I knew Husq/Viking took over White but it hadn't dawned on me to try and get the age from them-good idea! I was told this one originally had a knee lever but the seller couldn't recall exactly why it didn't now. I checked the cabinet for any possible previous hardware installation. There are some holes drilled by no sign that anything was there before. On your machine WITH the knee lever, is it a cabinet installed lever that presses the foot controller?
