My daughter found this and bought it for the color - we got a new belt for it and will clean it up with Tri-flow. In checking it out we discovered it has an oil reservoir on top with lots of little copper tubes to take the oil wherever it is needed - even to the underside! Cool! The slide plate is attached - flips up and the bobbin is facing to the left. It really is very clean inside, and runs. What does anyone know of these machines? It weighs a ton, has a Good Housekeeping badge on the front. Sorry for the unfocused photos - they were in a hurry to take it home and I couldn't get the camera to focus on the close things.[ATTACH=CONFIG]454224[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]454225[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]454226[/ATTACH]

I have no idea about the oil reservoir but the machine looks nifty. love the color.

Very cool machine!

Sweet! That oil reservoir is interesting, to say the least.

What does it say on the gold badge that is above the Good Housekeeping badge?

I can't help you either but that is a cool machine!

OOOOOOOooooo I love it! Love that oil distribution system, never ever seen anything like that in a domestic machine.

That machine was made to run.

I've never seen that kind of tubing before. Very interesting. It looks like a left homing machine http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...s-t237582.html

It's the first one that I've seen that is self-oiling. Neat.
