These Singers are NOT reproductions, NOT "clones", NOT "replicas" NOR "copies", as is often said in various sewing machine interest groups. As far as anyone is aware the production of this model, the most successful and long running in Singer's history, has never stopped. Indeed the model is still manufactured by Singer and sold as Singer. Although the model has improvements on much older models, the quality is inferior (as with most things these days).
How old is this info you read? I know the 1990's repros were given the xxNL designations that the tag on this machine shows. At any rate, they canceled the auction and are going to re list it.
