How long did Singer make the 66?

The Model 66 American Production figures are as follows:
10-27-1902 to 2-13-1956 with 5,924,909 machines during that era.
The 66K ran from 1907 to 1940 with 2,981,388 manufactured during that stint.
The total Model 66 production from both factories totaled 8,906,297 units.

I will also have to get the hinges to put her in my #42 cabinet. Anybody?
She sews nicely though! And came with plenty of attachments for me to figure out LOL
I am curious though that her serial (#AE314951) indicated 1936 but she doesn't have the scroll plates. Maybe they were replaced with newer ones?

Is there no cure for this terrible addiction??? :-D

I don't know the year, but in the cabinet drawers there are vintage patterns dated 1926. There is the original box with the attachments. Does anyone know how I would find out the year it was made?

My friend has a vintage machine that her grandmother had and said was a Betsy Ross. Has anyone heard of that machine?

Does my new 201 take a 66 bobbin? I want to order up some more because I like to pre-wind plenty when I am quilting.
eta Do the plastic ones work so I can see how much is left????

For those of you who don't already know, Ray White is an OSMG--an Elna repairman who now travels around the US training others to do repair on their own or other's machines. I have high praise for his classes.
