It is badged with 191u.
When I searched Singer Co. there wasn't a manual for it.

Price is right, but it is a long way from me, but do-able road trip.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago at an estate sale. It was mocha and in the best hard case I have ever seen. I passed it up on the first day, I think it was priced close to $200 and it sold for that. It looked new.

It struck me as a cross between a 15 and a 201 in the more modern body type. I think I read somewhere it's a different needle. It's also one of those machines that shared a model number with an industrial machine.

Thank goodness I don't live in that area any more, it would have to come home with me. :D

This is similar to the one I saw. It came in the case with the fold out table and was the heaviest case I have encountered to date.

My wifes 319 is in a case like that. I've been looking for one for my 500 but I don't think it would fit.
