Hey folks! I had posted earlier in the summer about scoring this machine for $10 at a yard sale. I'm still working on reconditioning the machine and gathering all its parts and attachments. Question for anyone who has this machine... I've researched online but can't figure this out... is this considered a high shank machine OR a super-high shank machine? It actually looks a lot like a slant shank, but apparently only Singer had slants so it can't be. Also, there's a little "flippy" lever on the right-hand side of the presser foot shank. It flips back and forth but doesn't seem to have any use other than holding the presser foot on. From what I can see in the manual, it's called the "Presser Foot Lock" - is that really its only function? It also has a tiny nut on the lever. I've attached a couple of pictures below so that you can see what I'm talking about. First picture is looking at the presser foot from the left, second is looking from the right.

Would love to chat with anyone who has this machine also.
