Here's a picture, but it doesn't tell me much. I don't have a pic of the back and the machine has been sold. Sorry. I grabbed the wrong machine first and can't get rid of it, so ignore the Redeye.[ATTACH=CONFIG]532226[/ATTACH]

Glad you're happy with the new Sewmor. Good job cleaning it up!

Nice machine! Is that big shiny lever the reverse lever? I like the looks of that machine - nice shiny bits!

I have a 128 but it doesn't have a lamp so that won't help you.

Cleaned up pretty good!

Neat machine. Looking good - didn't look too bad to begin with.

These are pictures of of a blackside 1950 128-23 they are a little dark. This one has the round back inspection plate. I have a 128-8 parts pdf that shows a little different light. Also the pdf 27-28 instruction manual from singerco.com shows the shade type light. Hope these help.

Janey & John,

I tried to lighten up the pic but Paint just won't work like the old program I had. So my SEWMOR has the tear drop inspection plate on the rear, what does the machine you took the pic of have?
I was just curious cos the tear drop one looks to be quite a bit bigger than the round one.

Joe - May I suggest the program Irfanview? Free, super powerful, easy to use, been around for a LONG time.

Sure, you can suggest it. I did a Google on it. Looks interesting. Will check it out later when I'm more awake. Before going to this Windoz 7 I had Photo Impact and Photo Express that I used a lot. MS Paint is junk.

My apologies... I was in a hurry to get it posted before I went to work. I tried to lighten it up and tried a couple of different programs and wasn't having much luck. I dug the machine out again this morning, but didn't take a picture of the full back before I put it away again. Actually it looks like it is the same light that is on the 66 that Irishrose2 posted above. It is put on the machine differently (instead of coming off the side like the 128 - it looks like the 66 was attached to the same screw as the top of the inspection plate. I compared the 128 inspection plate to a 27 and the diameter is about 1/8" smaller total, then compared to a 28 and the round portion fits the round portion exactly. The apparent size difference is that the 'kidney' shaped one is longer. This is one picture that I took this morning.

I took a picture of the 99-13 light which appears to be the one like they show in the 27-28 instruction manual pdf that you can get from singerco.com

Also I looked again at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singer_Model_27_and_127 and near the bottom of the page maybe about 3/4 of the way down they have a picture of a lamp that is different than these two and says it is a "mercury clone" light.

Hope this helps a little. ;-)

Janey & John,

Thanks for the pics and links. On the Widipedia page down towards the bottom there's a drawing that shows the kidney shaped light assembly. That is what I need for this SEWMOR.

MFord also posted a pic of her newly acquired 128 with that type of lamp in her new thread:
{ http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t270634.html }
So now that I know what they actually look like, the task is to find one.
