I'll keep looking for a 15-88. I really want a pretty one with the chrome bits in good shape. I've been looking for 6 months, maybe I'm just a little impatient.

Next put it on a treadle belt etc - it will work with out a bobbin winder if you use a sidewinder. I'm thinking the hand wheels are not all the same depth so you will need to find some thing that interchanges.

Actually if you plan to use it a lot get one that has been beaten nearly to death.

I believe I use a hand wheel from a dead 27 since the usual replacement wheels are shallow and won't fit the clutch. I used parts off the dead machine to fix quite a few messed up machines.
