I find a listing on CL, next town over, for a 15-90 and an elec. 201, $50 for both or $30 each. I'm emailing her for both while doing the dance of joy only to find out that the 201 is spoken for already =:( I bring the 15 home with cabinet and chair, and realize she's exactly one month younger than DH, so I say "You should name her"... Miss Shilah (??) was born 12/20/1946. She was pretty clean but when I spread the GoJo, a yellow brown came up. I guess she hung out with a smoking crowd. She needs to be rewired which DH can do and she's missing a bobbin thingy, bobbins and a needle. I someone can help me with purchasing these things, I'd appreciate it. I wanted to post this on the vintage section, but there's no file attachment for the pictures.

She is very pretty. Check ebay for your parts.

Billy (Lostn51) may have parts. You can post in the vintage sewing shop - just reply and post your picture and questions or cut and paste this thread. There are 750+ pages, but it's an active thread. There are others there with some parts available, too.

BTW, you new 'Old Gal' is very nice. I have a 128, but I'd like a full size one.

How nice. Hope you find your parts real soon.

She is a pretty machine. Parts for the 15s are easy to come by. Get some Schmetz 15x1 needles at most places, and bobbins as well. I'm sure Billy can help you, too.
