Ambassador Deluxe, Model 15 Clone made in Japan
Wow, I was doing some research and stumbled across this site. Like a lot of others, I was amazed at the machines, cases and cabinets. I hope I can do this right and post mine.
This is my baby. My Ambassador Deluxe, Model 15 Clone made in Japan. I had been looking for a machine to buy for about 4 months and didn't see anything I wanted or a price I liked. I'm SO glad I was patient. I went to an Estate Sale and saw her with a price tag of $10 with three boxes of attachments and accessories. I talked them down to $7.75! (don't ask me how) I had to get rid of that case though. I brought her home and she worked. After a little oil and some minor cleaning she just purrs. I purchased a 60's Kenmore in a cabinet and swapped the cabinet and case. Only one scratch, but no flaws in the chrome at all and the decals are perfect! I really don't know if it was really used. And I absolutely LOVE the color.

My newest machine. Haven't test run her yet, as I don't like the wiring.

Miriam posted on her PDA about memories of the old measuring device used in fabric stores.
A few years ago a friend gave me a meter made by the "Simplex Computing Measure Co.,
Metal Works Division of the Grand Rapids Show Case Co."
Miriam suggested that I post some pictures so here are a few pictures of mine. The first pix is the
Simplex with fabric in it. It still works! It sure does bring back memories.
