Singer- Brown Crinkle Finish
I just bought this machine at an estate sale for $10, the best I can read the number it is 2547784, I looked it up on the Ismacs site, it says no letter prefix was before 1900, did they have electric machines this far back? It sews, seems a loud, got it oiled up. The case it was in really smelled bad and looked even worse, I had an extra case that I was able to put it in. I'm not sure how the tension works, it has the screw type, I had to use plyers to back the tension off. It has the 66 drop in bobbin case. Anybody familiar with the brown crinkle machines?

There were a lot of older treadle machines repainted (often the "crinkle" finish) and electrified when raw materials were scares during the wars. BTW - I beleive Singer only officially used black crinkle, so most likely the brown is a refurbished machine.
However, if it takes a drop in bobbin, you've misidentified the number, as the Model 66 was not made until after 1900. It should have a letter or two in front of the number.
A picture would be great to help identify the model exactly.

Thanks Cathy, I can email a pic to you, I don't know how to post them here. I'm having trouble with the tension the top seems to be too tight, but no matter where I increase or decrease it stays the same, should the presser foot be up or down when adjusting the tension? or does it matter?
