Around here Kenmore 15 clones are common. BUT one of the Kenmore 15 clones I have is the one with the needle bar that probably has never worked - the shafts don't line up. The other one was one of the best clones. I also have one I'm holding for DGD Miss G since she was named after the lady that got it for a wedding present - then passed it on to me. It is a wonderful machine.
