Thanks

For the same money, or less, you should be able get either a real Singer machine, or one of the many excellent 15 clones, any of which would likely be better than that one, which I believe is made in China.

I have to say I agree. It does look like the retro edition made during the 70's (IIRC) in china. It actually costs more than an original would most of the time. and from what I have seen a 60 year old Iron singer will out last and perform these "alloy" singers.

ok...thanks...I will pass..LOL I do want a Singer

I didn't know there were replicas like this. Thanks for posting this. There is a big paint chip next to the oil hole on top.

I think I would pass and purchase the real thing.

Good info - didn't know about the repros - how do you tell?

Are the decals an indicator? I know it looks too new to be true .....

note: it is a Singer..... just a made in china 70's Singer not so brilliant idea...

That is a beautiful machine.
