How and Where......??
ok my husband just bought me a sewing machine while at a Car Show! He was very excited........this is what he got me.....I got the serial number off it AE014814, and if I looked it up right it was born on Dec 5th, 1935 and it is a Model #15. He paid $115 for it and does not know if he got a good deal or not.......it is in a table with only a knee bar to make it work, there is no foot petal.....is that normal? I don't know much about this machine any help with info is very appreciated......it also has just 1 bobbin and nothing else. Is there a place to get a manual and extra bobbin and any other acc. that I may need......thank you

You'll be able to go to the Singer website and download a manual for free as soon as you know which model 15 you have.
My guess is that it's a 15-91, and mine is in a cabinet with a kneebar, BUT! all the kneebar does is push on the foot feed for you. The foot feed is inside the cabinet in a clamp.
Class 15 bobbins are what you want for your new girl, and short shank attachments. Sew Classic should have the bobbins, and the attachments, but I'd look at the thrift/antique stores for the attachments and get originals. (They're usually cheaper too! )
Congrats! You sound very excited, do you have pics yet?

ok so I just went out to check her out again and there is a different serial number on the cabinet.....A072301 that is stamped into the wood. And my Kneebar has a cord that goes into a box on the side of the cabinet and it is what powers the needle up and down. I am going to try to do the photos next

Marsha, You do indeed have a 15-91. Go to this page:
http://www.singerco.com/accessories/...manuals/search
and you are able to download a PDF file for free of the manual for this machine.
I've never seen one wired like yours. Interesting! It looks tho, like you could if desired, unplug the motor control from the machine and plug in a regular foot feed/power cord if you wanted. (You can get it from Sew Classic) I, personally, wouldn't. I like the kneebar myself, and you have a nice cabinet to leave the machine in....
Tell your spousal unit that he did good!!
