Thank you!!! I will go check that out. Date wise that would make sense. I guess in my mind I was thinking a newer machine and that didn't make sense.
I had a Singer 237 that I paid $5 for at a thrift store. My foot got caught in the cord and it took a tumble off the table. The damage was similar, but mine didn't receive quite as extensive damage. Since I really liked the machine and the way it sewed, I got parts and fixed it back. Besides I felt bad. I certainly had other machines around here I could have used instead.
