Trish, that's interesting -- why are the white motors more powerful? Is it because they were made a lot later than the black FWs? I don't know what year Singer started making the white machines? I have not heard of a white model from the 30's?. If the white one has a more powerful motor, that probably means the 'newer' black machines have the same motor? Billy do you know anything about this?

They started making the white FW about 1960 -61. They stopped making the black ones just prior to that. They made the tan ones between the white and black.
