I just picked this up for $12. No bobbin case, will need a foot pedal but she was going to spray paint it!
The 1960s New Home (552?) was too far gone and the Domestic was a monster with brown crinkle finish. On the shelves were two wonderful machines spray painted bright green and one was purple. I mean every possible surface was painted, along with the bobbin cases in place. I nearly cried. One I'm sure was a Pfaff.

It wouldn't turn till oil soaked in awhile but now everything is working. Don't know about the motor. The itty bitty rivets on the column are rosebuds while the face plate is stiated with four leaf clovers which are also on the round light plate on the back. The serial number is H259511. Where do I look to date it?
I was just swearing of any more machines this morning. DH kept saying, Your nose is getting longer. Does he know me or what?

Duane, I don't have a manual, but it's a pretty straight forward threading machine. I've heard the needle on 15s thread from the right - this one is definitely from the left. Parts?? I don't know, but as far as accessories, yes, they are interchangeable. Almost any short shank ones will fit. There's no reason the clone won't hold up as well as the 15 - I've also heard they made be better made, but I have no 15 for comparison.
