I found this "International" for $20. My DH replaced the power cord and it runs beautifully. There isn't a lot of info on them but the replacement parts for the Singer Class 15 are readily available on the web and it's not too hard to do the basic stuff yourself. I'm so happy with mine and hope you are too.

Very pretty! I wouldn't be able to resist, either.

It is called a Plymouth and was made in Japan. It does have a serial number of Z1087664. Nowhere is it marked made in Japan or a date. I do not believe that the case it came in is original to the machine because the thread post is bent. Likely the machine was mounted in a cabinet.

The wiring is good, light works, motor runs, but the machine is a little "clunky".

I did some internet research and the best information I could find is that is a clone of a Singer Model 15. Can any of you confirm the info I found? I do think it is worth taking to the local sewing machine doctor to be cleaned and fixed. What do think?

MY AVATAR IS A CLONE OF A SINGER MADE IN JAPAN IT IS VERY GOOD CONDITION ALSO.GREAT FIND I HAPPY FOR YOU.
