You say that one is 3/4 size? I have a little black Alden that is 3/4 size - I haven't plugged her in yet - seems like that one will be a little tank though. I'm looking forward to playing with it. I'm thinking the feed dogs drop on the Alden and on yours. I really didn't know they made a 15 in that size.

I am presuming I have aquired a class 15 clone - 3/4 size machine???...if this is not what it is I would appreciate some info to steer us in the right direction. I have downloaded the free manual from sew-classic, if this is the right one.
When I plugged her in the needle started right up even though I wasn't touching the foot pedal...so I unplugged her until he gets home from work and can give her a look over, but other than that nothing is bent, rusty or missing so should be a good first project for us to work on.
The table is in very good condition too!
Her name is Nellie King which was his aunts name....I automatically said "Whoa Nelly" when I plugged her in, so I guess that fits! LOL
TIA

The wiring issue comes and goes, so I was playing around with her last night when she was in the mood to behave LOL - she sews a perfect 1/8th inch seam with me barely touching the cloth ;-) ...all these years I have been struggling with my plastic Kenny which runs off to the left something awful!
Miriam, yes she is a 3/4 and the feed dogs have 3 settings - her bobbin cover is kind of cool, I will post a pic after the next round of festivities are over!
Happy New Year everyone!

2 more pics
I thought the plate on this machine was rather interesting - they just cut off the plate from the full size machine...if anyone has a plate like this with all the words visible, could you please tell me what it says. :-)
I really like that the plate is hinged rather than a slider that can be misplaced.
...as you can see in the sample she sews a beautiful 1/8" seam, there is no mark on the plate for 1/4", I will have to make a little guide or use a screw on...or is there a 1/4" foot?
there have been 2 more of these teal blue machines come up on Kijiji since I brought this one home...tempting!!!!!
