Billy-There is an owner's manual for the russian machine you are seeking on E-Bay, and another piece of emphera regarding the russian machine. They are pretty cool looking.

Sweet I will go look at them, I am trying to get the elusive machine and I will find it before its over with!!!

I would guess I have its sister b/c my 15 clone (I think it's a 15 clone) is a big blue machine in a cabinet. It runs but needs some TLC and a couple of parts. I got mine for $20.

Runs like a top. Straight from the consignment shop. Oiled it, but had already sewn on it in the store before I brought it home. Just had to have it, was $25 but caught it on 80% off day. LOL

That's adorable! How is it working? Those are the same colors as my 2-tone 301's. I really like the beige and cream.

Getting a Jap15 this weekend that is badged White, and is light blue and chrome, and need it because it reminds me of my first car. Now that is stretching for a reason to get a machine.

Melinda;

I got one of my vintage machines b/c Josie has the same birthdate after her namesake, my grandmother Josephine. Many different reasons for buying the older ladies. Just be aware that it becomes both an obssession and an addiction.

Love this, and I have a question. Does anyone know of an instruction book for the vintage attachments. I know I can locate a manual that may or may not tell me what my attachments are, but how to use them?
