I have a weakness for Clones. I picked up another one yesterday. A poor neglected one at that. It was locked up bad too. Rust spots in places and a case that needs to be recovered pretty bad. I have a question about the numbers on the badge under the stitch levers. Does anyone know what they are or mean? Shalini's Belvedere above is a 101. The one I just bought is a 200. (I know it's bad, this is the "before" picture)

I had a 128 clone that was a 228.

Some don't have a number. Can anyone shed some light on this? Also, does anyone know what kind of paint they used? Was it Lacquer?
Thanks.

What happens when you hand turn it? Is the noise coming from the bobbin area, top, bottom, left or right of the machine?
Mine works real smooth - usually there is some little bit of dried up oil causing them not to turn quite smooth enough. I kind of hate to part with that one.
