Will the Real 15 clone please stand up

The HA-1 aka 15 clone manual can be found at http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...ion-manual.pdf
The thread regarding tension assemblies, that Miriam did, can be found at Taming the 15 clone tension... well maybe.....
There are a variety of tension assemblies on 15 clones. I can't find it now, but it seems like there was a 15 clone that had a tension assembly like is shown on page 17 of an adjusters manual for the 15-91 (and others) that can be found at http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/15-91.pdf It seems like I have also seen a tension assembly similar to the one on my 115 as shown on page 13 of http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...ine-manual.pdf

I looked in my spreadsheet and I don't have any JA or JC numbers listed for any of my clones. It doesn't mean they don't have any, I just didn't put them on the spreadsheet if they did.
Hope this helps.

Mine is almost identical to the Kingston (the first photo) except mine is badged Rotary Electric. I would love to find a copy of the owners manual so I learn more about her.

https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec.../sil10-215.pdf On page 8 of the pdf shows the attachment foot and then how to attach the binder, hemmers and edgestitcher. I'm guessing that you won't find much info on your particular machine as there were so many made in Japan. I'm guessing probably it was made in the mid-1950s. Many of the 15 clone machines do not have a JA or JC number, but some do.
A manual for a machine much like yours can be found at https://tinkerbeth2.files.wordpress..../01/morse1.pdf However, that manual shows a drop feed on the bed of the machine, which the General does not have.

Welcome, DKrenek. Nice looking machine. It looks like you may be missing the adapter (or attachment foot) for some of those attachments. More than likely those are Greist attachments and a manual can be found at

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

I’m looking forward to all the pictures - my 15-91 (if I remember correctly) belonged to my MIL and is still up in NY. We inherited the house and will be up,there for Thanksgiving so I’ll take some pictures in a couple weeks. It hasn’t been used in many years and I’ve been wanting to see if it will even work. I know absolutely nothing about these machines so I may be asking for help!!!!
