I really shouldn't jump to say that, I didn't plug it in. But I think she's a beauty. In fact the pictures show stuff that doesn't really appear to be there. The decals are lovely.
This purchase was from Craigslist as well, and I paid $20.00 for it. It was from Tim in Columbia, Illinois. I drove there today to pick it up. He had 3 other machines in cabinets that were all in sad shape and I felt pretty good leaving without rescuing the others!
Here's the pictures:
There is a bobbin release button on this style of Singer. Something else I'm not familiar with. The needle plate is obviously a replacement. Instead of being shiny, it has a matte finish.
The cord is a little frayed, but not really that bad. The belt and the bobbin winder tire both look like they've been replaced recently. 
I took this picture to show the lazy susan I got to use with repairing the sewing machines. It works great to help with the photos, too!
I've never noticed a Made in Great Britain decal on a Singer before. Maybe I just haven't seen enough of them, but I think it's really cool to think this machine originated across the pond.
