Hi Billy
I just bought "Louise" after seeing her advertised on Craigs List. She was a real bargain at $50 which included the cabinet, lots of attachments, 2 manuals and 40 assorted Singer needles. I emailed the Singer folks with the model and serial number to get a little more info on her. The lady I bought from said it was originally bought in 1948 by her great aunt. It says "Made in Canada" on the top of the head. I got a reply from Singer this morning and they said this machine was manufactured in Oct. of 1948 in Clydebank, Scotland. The Canada part means even more to me because my maternal grandmother came from Ontario.
Now I have a question. I want to take her in for a checkup and have her nether regions cleaned and oiled. I got the head out of the cabinet with no problems but I can't figure out how to remove the foot control. In picture 2 you can see the hole where the cord runs through that small hole in the side of the machine bed. What do I do next?? Help
