    Default Wizard: Identifying my New Thrift Store Find

    Hello,
    I found a machine at a thrift store and I would like help identifying it and it's story. I know it is a Wizard made in Japan. Can I find a manual? It doesn't have a bobbin case. Does anyone know a resource for parts? ( part number) Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a Brother 15 clone! Looks like a nice one, too.

    10X,
    Let me rephrase that for you. It's a Brother made, clone of the Singer 15.

    Amy,
    You can get the bobbin case at Sew-Classic as well as a generic owners manual.

    Brother built this machine and badged it for Western Auto stores. You can get a generic 15 class manual here--

    It uses a normal class 15 bobbin and case.

    Very nice!

    I have a Montgomery Ward "Precision" 15-clone, but mine was made by Happy.
