Well, I bought it on craigslist...it was a little rough. Needs power and foot cords and a new belt. It was in a not so nice garage. It needs aq good clean up. I want to order the replacement parts. The number on the front is AG516558. So how do I find out what the model is?

Google "vintage singer sewing machine", then click on "images", and see what model your machine matches up with.

Clean it up and oil it good and it should run well. The 66 is a really nice machine. Check out the" Vintage Sewing machine shop" under the Main heading for some great info on vintage machines if you haven't already. Lots of reading and good hints on maintaining and fixing.
