I got the case bottom back together for the 505 yesterday and am sewing with it. Making a Whacky Bag as usual.

The Sewmor 505 is sort of a 15 clone with some variations. First; it's aluminum and much lighter than the Singer 99s or 185s or Spartans.
Second; I found that the stitch length controls are reversed from the norm. Up is forward, down is reverse. I'm having a really fun time adjusting to that.
Third; it's got a removable plate on top like the FW but everything inside is the same as 99.
But the little machine is quiet and sews very nicely.
It's soooo much easier to cart around than the 99s too.
What else can I say ....... oh yeah, it's cute as a bugs ear.
