I thought the biggest difference on a 27 and 127 is the 127 has the cast-in motor mount boss and wheel operated bobbin winder. That would explain the different bobbin winders between my 27s and crocee's. My understanding is the 28s and 128s are the 3/4 size machines.

I have an old 127 that has been refurbished. I don't love that machine at all. They ground off the mount for the bobbin winder and put one on the belt guard. It will only run on a very small hand wheel - I have a hard time turning it.

Now this is totally weird. How often do you by a fluke pick up a sewing machine you know absolutely nothing about that has a manufacture allotting date the same as your birthday (well a whole bunch of years before I was thought of). This is so cool. This machine was allotted Sept 20 1917 and only 25000 machines. Its a lot but still better than 50000.
