Oh yeah I also found a vintage quilt top for $3.00. I take pictures tomorrow and post. :-D :-D :-D
I found a Singer 66 in a cabinet at an estate sale last month (not a godzilla). I plan on cleaning mine with Billy's tutorial. Look under tutorials - how to disassemble, clean, repair vintage singer machines. It is an awesome tutorial! Good luck.

Awesome!!!!!!
Here is the update folks. I believe what I bought was a Godzilla. It is model number 66-18 and serial number AL039395 so from what I can find it is a heavy duty machine produce around 1950. It did come with the manual, one pressure foot, the foot pedal, and some bobbins. The quilt top is in pretty good shape two small holes, and I did find one spot where a seam is coming apart. Other than that it all seems to be intact.
