No, point me to it, please. Edit-Duh I see the link you posted. ADD is a terrible syndrome. Another edit - I'm completely lost. Ron, take a breath, count to ten, reboot and pay attention.

It is either here on this thread or on the one with the fancy stitches and then on the 15 clone pages - look for Grant's post about wallpaper - I put links to those threads on page 13 above.

OMG! All those machine together have me drooling. Here is my Viscount a friend gave me. As you can see, she's missing the needle plate that opens to the front, was probably hinged. What I need is to find a common name brand that has the same plate so that Jennie at Sew-Classic can find it for me.
It measures 3 1/4 inch wide and had the screws evenly spaced on each side, not offset. It measures 5 inches from front to back. Strange, it has a screw hole on the machine behind the needle where something went. Caroline S has a Brother 280 that looks similiar. The 1977 Kenmore 158.13571, jlm5419. the Stitchmaster, grant 15clone.
Why am I obsessed with returning her to working condition? Uh, do I really need to explain that to this group?

Alas, all such shops have closed here. Calhoun, Adairsville, Rome, Cartersville and I think we need a passport to go to Atlanta. That may just be a local assumption. If not for the internet we'd be in the dark ages here. But thanks for the advice. If this one didn't run so sweetly I'd transplant her motor to the 556 New Home. May anyway if I don't find a plate for her. Thanks again.
