Beautiful cabinet. My opinion would be for a machine with Lotus or Tiffany decals. Which decals does the 27 have?
As far as fitting, I'm thinking the drawing room cabinets have a pan which
may or may not be specific to the machine it was for. I know the bentwood cases are different depths of respective bases for the 28 and 99 machines. If the full size 27 and 66 follow suit then the 27 would have less space needed
under the machine than the 66. It is possible they position the pan to fit either. From my understanding cabinets can have differences, which would only matter if you wanted to fold it down. This is per
singer treadle question specifically posts #7 and #8.
