It measures 3 1/4 inch wide and had the screws evenly spaced on each side, not offset. It measures 5 inches from front to back. Strange, it has a screw hole on the machine behind the needle where something went. Caroline S has a Brother 280 that looks similiar. The 1977 Kenmore 158.13571, jlm5419. the Stitchmaster, grant 15clone.
Why am I obsessed with returning her to working condition? Uh, do I really need to explain that to this group?

Pink Coronado
I'm not sure if this is a 'badged' machine or where it was made. There are no indications anywhere on it. It is a Coronado Model M-93Z, Precision Built Automatic, Super Deluxe. It was inside a treadle cabinet I wanted and thought the machine was a bit different. The lady said it didn't work, but I took it anyway. When we plugged it in the motor smoked so it was unplugged immediately. I've cleaned the machine and oiled it; removed the motor for repair or replacement, but the machine seems to be in very good shape and everything moves smoothly. Picture is a bit fuzzy, sorry.
It really is pink with a brown top, not orange as in the picture.
