Thank's for the info. I was having trouble researching. I was looking up 6 digit serial numbers where this has a 7 digit serial number. Rookie mistake but now I'm finding all kinds of info. For instance the decals are call "thistle". I think I'll stick with calling then Lotus. No "fiddly bits" Im lucky the straight stitch foot was there. If that where missing it would have been a nightmare to first figure out and the to replace. The only thing missing on the machine is the tension spring on the tension assembly. The check spring is there but the main spring is not.
