Well, I'm gonna see what I can do with her. She got a good oiling and surface cleaning, and she moves right along. She will get the spa treatment in a couple of days, but sadly her decals are pretty shot. I just couldn't stand to think of her being trashed out.

No lint, no caked on oil, her tension works fine, her bobbin area is immaculate, she sews a very nice stitch. Nothing for me to do. sigh. No, I'm not really bummed out. I'm thrilled. She takes the same bobbins the Singer 403 I use a lot uses. Well, she does have 2 flaws. A little scratch or two in her paint and the top of her case needs to be re-glued. She does not own a light. She came with a slant zipper foot and a button in her mostly dust free box. Oh and her wires are NEW and her bobbin winder is NEW and her belt is NEW. Her motor runs flat out fast.

But the tension is on the front and by the serial numbers, it says its a 15. I thought they were bigger. Its all right by me, I want to put a crank on it (and I have one here handy!) and it is sure heavy enough already. I just had a question about it.
But, on a good note do you realize how rare it is to find a 15 with the Tiffany/Gingerbread decals! I'd love to own one!

:oops: :lol:
Ok...so does anyone know what machine the Boye 17 shuttle fits? I THINK it's New Home...not sure at all!
Seems that the Boye 13 shuttle fits a variety of Badged machines...
Still haven't checked my White #8 to see if either will fit it... The bobbin things tickle me...a whopping 5 cents...not sure if that's each for for the whole metal slider full...
