Thanks for clearing up the feet Joe. I don't own any high or super high shank machines so seeing them side by side and knowing what they are helps a lot. The slant shank does look a lot like the high shank foot to me.
$2 is a great price for any machine. You really can't go wrong for that. If the light bulb works, you've already got your money back.
I'm not too sure about the finish but it took seeing the crinkle finish on a White 77 in person to make me like it. It could be the same thing with yours.
