Help with model Identification - hope I'm right!

Serial number is helpful -you can look it up on ISMACS and it will tell you what model machine the number was allocated to.
However, it looks like a 201 without the potted motor and the front light. I have found pictures of the same looking machine, and they say it's a 201K - so maybe the European model was a bit different the the US model.

I think it's a 201 also. The plate under the spool pin is one of the give aways. I think it's called the "spool pin boss". Also the relatively straight line of the inside of the pillar.

The serial number is EE650513- lists it as. 201K
macybaby when say a 201 without a potted motor is that a bad thing? Should all 201's have a potted motor.
I need to read more about them.
thank you!

Nothing wrong with an external motor instead of the potted motor. It's just like the 15-90 and 15-91, same basic machine except the motor drive - one is external belt, the other is potted with gears. It is just an option but I couldn't remember what the last part of the number was to designate external motor.
it's the lack of a front light that was confusing . . .
