I have never seen one, until they showed up here a few weeks ago and now they seem so be coming out of the woodwork! Sorry for so many questions, but they are fascinating to me. Thanx!
These machines were made in Japan. It's seems to be a smaller copy of the singer 15 not big at all about the same size as a FW. The working parts are steel and the frame work is Alum. and the outside is pressed tin.
It's not as heavy as a 99 weights about 15#. They use the same needle as the 99 just bobbin looks to be like the 15. I have sewed with her just to see how she does, and it sews fast you have to get used to it. It also has a tinny sound when sewing. You can remove acouple of things and her dress comes off so she can be oiled.
I have only seen them on e bay until Tammy got one.
I took a picture of her without her dress on so you can see her body.
Thank you for showing this! Gives me more insight to mine that is named Cinderella. Who by the way is on her way to me as we speak! I can't wait to get it so I can check it all out. I am like Billy on this as far as I like the idea that the whole side comes off of it making it easy to oil good. Thanx again.
Tammy
