My go to machine at home is a black 15-75 same body as your green 15. Mine looks as ugly as yours does beautiful. Mine is a tank and sews through anything. When I got mine it was rusty and the shellac was reduced to powder. It was a challenge to see if I could make it work. I kind of wondered when I got it if it would be as good as the older 15s. It is. Some day I think I need to etch a pretty design in all the pin scratches... I had to replace the motor on mine so I put on a 1.5 amp. She flys through everthing. I also put on a quick release pressure bar nut. Mine is in a 3 in 1 table which is a place of honor. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. The more it is used the better it gets. Mine is picky about spools of thread. It likes small spools. i like large. I run thread through a stand.
