Where can I find information on antique Singer Sewing Motors?
Answers: You hold one of a batch of 35000 Singer model 66 machines commissioned on 31 July 1928, according to
http://www.singerco.com/pdf/SINGER_AC_no...
Here's a copy of the almanac, in skin you don't have one:
They whip the commonly available 15x1 (aka 130/705H) needles that are available everywhere, and "class 66 bobbins" (named for this machine).

Belts and bobbin winder wheels and bulbs are still available, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear motors be, too. A nice, sturdy straight stitcher that has not much sale value, but is a terribly nice part of your household history, and will probably keep sewing okay into the next century if kept oil and clean and dry.
Enjoy using it! It's get a lot of nice tricks it's skilled of, especially if your grandmother bought some attachments.
The only suspicion I have on these aged electric machines is to make sure the electrical system is contained by good shape. There are ways to turn it into a handcrank electrical device if the electrical system is iffy and you don't have an electrical plan at your beck and call. <g>
websites 'Singer contrivance manuals' (several sites).
But you will need the model #
Check beside sewing machine repair shops to abet you get the model # and they should hold websites to assist in getting a brochure. Those that sell alien machines would have restricted resources on the antigue versions.
Good luck. These machines DO appear to last forever.
