I'm pretty sure I'll be listing it on ebay as I need the money and don't ever plan on having a featherweight.
I'm very excited over my find!!

Your Honeymoon machine is a badged New Home machine. The gizmo on the top is indeed the tension. It is called a 'leaf tension' You should be able to find a generic manual for it from the Treadle On list.

A pic of my penguin knock off or what ever it is. The newer walking feet are plastic. This one is metal except for the white case it does fit a short shank machine.

This White machine that William brought home to me today is older than I thought... seems to have been made in 1919 from what I can find on the web...I'll call White on Monday to be sure.
Poor old thing...at first I thought I didn't want her, but the more I look at her, the more I think she needs to stay!

I found this interesting link.
I found a fascinating 1922 book online that you can download. About a third of the book is on attachments. The book is Sewing Machines by Rosamond Cook, a professor at Iowa State. Here is the link:

Note: The "full text" format doesn't include the drawings & photos, which are the heart of the book.

thanks[/quote]
The serial # is located right below the Singer badge on your machine. Your machine looks like a model 66, it's possible that the motor is factory installed.
The website that I use is this:
