She said the cabinet was in great shape and the machine looked OK. I asked it it sewed and she had them plug it in and let me know the light goes on and the needle moves up and down.

She came home with a beautiful blond cabinet ( not a thing wrong with it ) and a wonderful light green 15-125. The machine needed cleaning but it sews like a dream. Then came the best part.......it was half price day at the estate sale so this baby came to my house for $17.00. Can you believe it. I'm so excited. I'm cleaning her up and trying to decide a name for her. What a great day. Oh.....the seat that came with her is filled with sewing supplies. Including a four pack of bobbins with a price tag of 39 cents. :lol: :lol: :lol: She was born in 1956 and is a wonderful addition to my home. I'm having a great time with her.

Bella verde, green love!!

I have one of these "Green Beauties" too, in the blonde cabinet. Her name is Betty, she is from ARC for $30. She sews wonderfully and is my favorite machine in my collection. Enjoy her. Did you know you can drop the feed dogs and do free motion quilting? The long bed is a dream.

I found my manual on ebay. If you go to the singer website, you can get a manual there too.
