OKee Dokeee, I went down stairs and figured out a way to get an accurate measurement.
Ran the needle down to the BDC then turned the hand wheel till it rose up .093". At that point the hook is behind the needle at the eye, but the tip of the hook is aprox 2/32" past the needle.
So far I haven't found any instructions on how to re-time the hook that doesn't describe the replacement of it. The Singer 15 manuals are no help in this one.
I did sign up with that Yahoo Japanese machine group and did download that 5 part maintenance book. I doubt it will be of any help as it's just a generic clean and lube type book.
I will study the machine and keep looking for info.

We were out bumming around an antique mall 40 mi N if Atlanta. Very little under $175, a nice hand crank, I think it was a National but it was $225. The cheapest machine they had in the place was a 15 clone for about $30...not even any parts...bummer. I'm still looking for a slant hopping foot for my 301 if any one has an extra one around.

I'm cleaning the bobbin winder on a machine that uses a shuttle. I took it off the machine, but can it be completely taken apart it is really dirty? I hope this makes sense. Thank you!! Anamaria

It's interesting....I know from her experience that I most likely wouldn't powder coat a slide plate....I don't like how it looks...actually, am not sure I'd powder coat the machine either... but that's me! I do find her "journey" interesting tho!
