Default Another 66-??

Hello all,

I acquired a free 66 from a thrift shop about a year ago. I traded a recliner for a Dressmaker w/cabinet in full working order that belonged to the shop owner. Knowing that I had a small machine collection, on the way out, she asked if I wanted her door stop, a Singer . Naturally I jumped at a freebie which was a 66 mfg. May 1922. I have a few pics posted to see if anyone can identify the -#. All pics I have seen shows a spoke wheel in that time period, but this one has a smaller solid balance wheel and the bobbin tire if not worn down also looks different. I am wondering if someone change out the wheel and bobbin winder. It was missing the slide plate, needle clamp, hand wheel nut index screw , lower cover plate thumbscrew and a broken winder spring. All issue have been corrected, machine serviced and I will make a base for it and add a motor & controller. Any help is appreciated.
