Yes, the Singer 4530 should be able to fit into most standard-sized sewing machine cabinets. Make sure to measure the size of your cabinet to ensure the Singer machine and all its accessories will fit inside.
Unless the cabinet was made to your machine's specifications, you will most likely need to modify the cabinet to make the machine fit. Sometimes it's easier to find a cabinet that will fit your machine.
Check places like JoAnn's Fabric where you can find a table with a dropped platform where you can set your machine so the sewing surface is level with the table top. I have one of these and it works with several machines.
You probably can but not without doing some (maybe a lot of) retrofitting. Difference in machine footprint will make a big difference. Also, connecting the lifting hardware, etc. adds to the overall difficulty. You could always ask a handyman familiar with woodworking but chances are, the expense will be more than the machine is worth. But, then sometimes nostalgia wins!
1. Find two holes on the back side of the machine towards the very bottom of the machine. Small screws are inserted that need to be almost removed.
2. There are small pegs attached to two hinges (towards back of table where opening is). Stand them up towards the ceiling. (Possibly need help)
3. The sewing machine will face the front of the machine towards the floor and the bottom of the machine towards yourself. It must be held while doing this.
4. Aim the holes of the machine towards the holes and lower the machine. As the pegs go through the holes of the sewing machine the screws need to be tightened.
According to the Singer sewing machine site, your machine was manufactured in 1948. Also according to the site, your model number should be on a small plate at the front of the machine.
If it can be attached, there will be a set of screws/hinges on the back side of it.
I actually modified a sewing machine cabinet to be able to place my machine inside for storage, on its side. When sewing, I have the modified board on the hinge and the machine sets on top of that. When not is use, cabinet looks like a "table" cabinet.
There are these things called sewing machine hinges. They have a round fitting that slip in to the cabinet and a shaft that fits into the machine itself. I've seen other styles as well. Examine your singer cabinet for 2 circular holes near the back of the spot where the sewing machine hits. You'll need to measure those holes. then find the correstponding holes on the sewing machine casting. You'll likely need some set screws as well.
Here is an etsy listing for a sewing machine hinge that someone has made a steampunk necklace from. LOL Really. At least it's a good photo of what a hinge looks like. http://www.etsy.com/listing/88963367/necklace-steampunk-key-1937-singer-201?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+mounting+hinges&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all
