I have seen where someone was making lamps out of old vintage machines. You could do away with the lamp and use it as a machine if you wished. I would look into getting parts if it need it and use it as a machine. It is beautiful. It looks like it is all there if the bobbin is there. Look and see if not try to find one on eBay. Let us know what you decide to do, i'm curious

There appears to be no motor to drive the machine. Maybe it should remain a lamp.

I recently saw a vintage machine made into a lamp on eBay...I had to catch my breath!! WOW!! Who would do that????? Anyway, your 15 clone should still sew since the drilling is through the back of the bed. Anyway...do what you want with it...either way, it's a great looking machine.
