That's a Singer 401 Slant-O-Matic, the model just before the 501 Rocket. It's a really good machine. It's missing the cover over the fashion disk. The cover also tells you what combinations of dial settings give you what type of built in stitches you want to select.

I finally got around to putting a new cord on my Royal 157.

Made up a hose for the DXL. Used the machine end for an electric hose, a nozzle end for a Rainbow and a spare 8 feet of black and silver wire reinforced hose. A little Pliobond and now have a spare hose.
