Thank you, bkay, for linking to the manual.
Seems like a lot of the 15 clone machines are in great condition. I have seen a few that aren't. Probably depends on where it spent a good portion of its life.
I totally agree that it is a beautiful machine. Glad that it sews nice stitches. There are some that say the clones sew just as well, if not better than the Singer they are cloned after.
