And this is a perfect example of why I say that no one who works for Singer now knows anything about the older machines. They just read info off the same lists that we have access to and they can't even get that right. "2404C". The "C" is at the END of the model #- how is that a PRE-fix?

P.S. I went through the same thing with Brother a few years ago. None of them have any idea about the vintage machines. They tried to tell me they never made a certain model number, I said that's funny because I have one here right in front of me.
