Nice looking machine.

Really nice machine and looks so new and clean. Great price too.

Wow that is a beautiful machine.
I would take it in and have it checked and cleaned. Have fun sewing with it. |

It is called a Plymouth and was made in Japan. It does have a serial number of Z1087664. Nowhere is it marked made in Japan or a date. I do not believe that the case it came in is original to the machine because the thread post is bent. Likely the machine was mounted in a cabinet. The wiring is good, light works, motor runs, but the machine is a little "clunky". I did some internet research and the best information I could find is that is a clone of a Singer Model 15. Can any of you confirm the info I found? I do think it is worth taking to the local sewing machine doctor to be cleaned and fixed. What do think? Decide how much it's worth to you and ask about cleaning and repairs. She's pretty regardless. |
Beautiful machine, 1st I've heard of the name and 1st I've seen one. Lucky you to get this and a great price.

What a great find.

Looks pretty-get it cleaned and oiled and it will probably sound better. Enjoy.

FYI, while I was at the repair shop I asked them what it would cost if I brought Patience is for maintenance and cleaning. Would you believe the price was $129.00? If something really goes wrong I will be using Billy's tutorials and learn something along the way! |
Very nice. I'd have it gone over to use.
