Yes, I forgot to mention that the handwheel spins backward. My stepmother owned a Domestic during the early '50s that spun backwards; and that machine ran heavy and loud. It was nothing like this machine.
I also forgot to mention that the paint on this machine is a black crinkle; and seems like brand new, except where that Commander brand-name label is. It is speckled and beat-up; almost like someone sat and pock marked it during a boring moment in mom's or grannie's sewing room.
