Hello Tammy,
I am sorry that I am unable to help you as I deal in antique items. Most of my sewing machine expertise relates to toy or salesman sample machines and not to full sized sewing machines.
I did however, undetake a very quick search on the Internet for Fleetwood Super Delux Sewing Machine and I believe that your machine dates to around the 1950's or 1960's.
Sorry I was not more of a help to you.
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
