Default Almost spent $35 on missing parts for my 15-91... got this instead!

I needed a 3 pin terminal, bracket for it, and wall plug so I was looking on eBay/OfferUp, looking like about $12-15 each piece.

Ended up finding this whole machine, table and manual and attachments for $40 instead. Now I can start working on fixing this one up or take the terminal and plugs and put it on my current 15-91 that I'm working on.......That was my original plan, but now I want to restore them both!

I'm addicted to these machines, I love it. Taking them apart, cleaning & oiling them and seeing how all the pieces work together.

Eventually I'm going to learn how to use them LOL

that is always the catch - get a donor machine and then decide you want to fix up both!

It is also the reason why you'll find ones for sale that are missing one or two items - someone else bought them cheap, took what they wanted and donated what was left to get rid of it.

Oh how many times have I done that...I have lots of machines that share bits when I am in the mood to have one as a user . and I am slowly learning to sew.
