It is so basic that it oozes strength and dependability. (Geesh, maybe I wrote ad copy for sewing machines in another life!)
LOL!! I do like how "masculine" it is, it has a nice industrial look to it. I'm female but I tend to prefer industrial over frilly any day. It makes me think of an old Buick, actually. (And I like classic cars too)

Very good! I own a caliper (somewhere) so I should be able to measure accurately enough to get the right part. Thanks!

That sure does look like it! I know it's a 117.-something for sure; I found the serial number and I remember the 117 for certain but I don't recall what the last few digits were.
Just about a half-hour before I can go and see if it's still there... *all antsy*
