One of our readers has an old sewing machine he's working on to refurbish. Does anyone have info on the history of this particular model?

"I just received a sewing machine that I have not seen in my 71 years and am trying to learn something of its history. It is an Sew EZ Hamilton-Beach Electro 3053598 Electro. It is a vibrating Shuttle and the singer Bobbins fit it. It has to be close to 100 years old all the wiring has rotted away so all I have to do is rewire and fix the case. But I wanted to learn more about this machine's history."
