amcatanzaro - that is a neat! I think the machine DH picked up is a bit later in mfg, using up the older WW beds but with a Singer head. The uptake bar is not in the same location, and a few other things are more "singer" than WW. I've got to go give it a good look over, and make sure my husband didn't miss something after the 5 when reading the number. I'll have to measure to be sure, but I think this one is longer than "regular" machines. It's interesting - if nothing else . . .
DH and I will be picking up the rest of the "loot" on Monday. Maybe the seller will have found a few other interesting items tucked away somewhere she wants to get hauled off.
