Now I just need a slide plate and new belt for the motor and Gertie will be good to go.

I saw the title and immediately said "self, you just gave same machine away". But looked at pix and grabbed my research notes..oh no...mine was model 101, G series, made 1/9/23, had the knee control...but the motor was enclosed in a lge hump on the back, with wiring coming from underneath the machine. The info I gleaned was that it was one of 3500 made which included the same machine made of aluminum so it would be lighter weight. So interesting what you learn when you research!
