I just saw one on CL http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/atq/2862176575.html
I think it has been there a while and now more reasonable price.

Have you named her yet? I suggest Ms Midas, for King Midas's gold touch!

Hello,

I just got one of these gold machines today. I am working on getting them ready for a mission project. It came in a cabinet. The serial number is alb274826. I am interesting in any information you could share (source of spare parts, manuals etc). It is in great shape and needs little work, just some light cleaning. I have not done a test sew yet.
Thanks,

Bonnie

Ok These are NOT a clone or a 15 at all. The balance wheel on mine turns the opposite way of other machines. It is threaded different and has a different bobbin. I have some that are very light weight and one that is a godzilla.

My neighbor will give me their Free Westinghouse if I restore it. It is similar to this. Would I be able to get bobbins for this? I don't want to rip it apart and fix it up if I can't get a bobbin for it.
