No sign of a light, not sure how it would have been attached on this model. I haven't tested the motor yet, but it turns over easily and there is no sign of rust inside. Here is a view of the bottom. There is a little light rust, but nothing serious. Everything moves freely.

The Singer 115 is a full rotary machine, and it was out much ealier than the 201. the 101 is also full rotary.
I have a manual for White showing an embossed machine - it is posted on VSS
This is the regular version with the light.

I'd like to have some attachments, but first I need to find the missing parts, get it cleaned up and working. How does that cool looking light attach? Is the light bracket unique to the embossed model? Thanks!

I've been reading all I can find on these rare machines. I need to find the missing bobbin case, bobbins and bobbin cover plate (please look at this photo - is anything else missing?).
I did not realize there were so many different models of White rotarys, so I'm not sure what model I need to look to for the missing parts. One post I found on Needlebar of a similar machine missing the same cover plate stated "The missing slide plate is a smaller size than White Rotary models 41 and 43 or 75 and 77 plates. Throat plate size of models 75 and 77 & Domestic 153 are likewise larger than the regular White Rotary throat plate.". So can anyone tell me which WR model I should look for to get the correct missing parts for this old girl?
Thanks.

here is a picture of mine.
The light can be put to the front or back, I've got a decalled version with the same light put on to the back.
I checked with several other White rotaries I have, and they all look the same. I even checked and the front plates were all the same.
So I went out to the shed where I have two parts ones - and found a slide and even still had a bobbin case in one . . .
I've got almost as much extra White stuff as I do all the others combined.
