I recently procured a Free Westinghouse off of Freecycle - for free! - with cabinet. It works like a trooper. I hope you enjoy your great find.

Before we got to this post, my DH told me it was a 15-91. We collect old Singers and I think they are beautiful. We just haven't found any great deals like you did. Congratulations. You will enjoy.

I just got one from a friend & will be using it for my FMQ machine, partly because you can lower the feed dogs on the 15. (Don't know about that on the 66)

I went to the site, at first i thought it was a 176 but when i found the book yea, no...I am almost positive that it is a 66 if i am looking at the numbers correctly. Now i have to find out what Free Westinghouse i have. Funny thing is that the repair guy told me to scap the Free Westinghouse, because it is a pain machine..I think it is beautiful. I think it was made around the 20's, which means even if i never sew on it, it is almost a 100 years old and is a great addition to my sewing (soon to be) room.
Edit- i stand corrected, it looks identical to the 15-91 thank you for pointing it out to me =)
