Last machine purchased for 2014
I know this one is rough - but they are so few and far between that I bought it anyway. Looks like someone tried to scrap off the White label. I figure this will be a good candidate for a new paint job.
It's got provisions for two needles - which is neat. This machine is quite small, more the size of the Singer 128 than a full size machine. It does take Singer type shuttle, bobbins and needles.

What a strange choice of needle plates on that machine. It looks like someone chose to use both round and half moon styles.
And the only way I would take a White home is with the badge taken off so I am pleased to hear someone else had the same idea. :P

Kind of wondering the same. The Whites I've messed with-both the FRs and later Japanese badged machines have been well made, at least comparable to Singers or other Japanese machines of the same ages.
Cathy, is that a long bobbin machine? And do we get some closeups?
It looks very interesting to me.

Yes, this is a long bobbin zigzag machine. It's set up to easily use two needles, so that will be fun to try.
This is one of those machines that once I new it existed, was on my "must have" list. If I ever find a nicer one, I'll upgrade, but at least I've got one!
Here she is next to a Singer 15-90
The shuttle carrier
And bobbin winder (and damaged nameplate).
As to it being a White - that's just the nameplate.
It is cast J-C34 on the underside of the bed.
And the needle bar - notice the notches on both sides for two separate needles.
BTW - I'm sort of collecting White machines that aren't white. Besides the black, I've got a green and a blue so far.

Okay, now I have to post a pic of the green Morse that was at our PNW get together. I wish I would have gotten more detailed pics, this is the only one I took. It's pretty much identical to your White.
