Thank you, quiltmouse! :-) "Almatinka" is actually not a "name" per se - I just use it as my "on-line name" ;-). In Russian it's just means "a person living in or from Almaty" (it's the name of the city in Kazakhstan where I was born and used to live), sort of like "a New-Yorker", etc. I do not know, however, if I can contribute much to this community, since I don't quilt. ;-) But I'll be happy to help if anyone needs something translated from/into Russian or something like that! ;-)

Hi, Billy,

Did you manage to find someone who can help you with actually getting the machine? Or should I continue searching?

What a masterpiece they used to make of the machines. Good luck finding one. I have a friend who sells machines, I'll check with her.

Billy,
I bought a singer Model 15, I can't find a serial number and upon closer examination Singer, made in China is stamped on the inside. The design is Spinx(sp?) Have I been gypped or were some made in China? Everything looks just as it should and only found the printing after I was home and looked inside with a flashlight. Of course there is no serial Number. My fault, should have taken it apart and not gone by looks at the purchase place. Cabinet is authentic irons, Everything has Singer stamped inside the cabinet in several spots.

Still looking into one option, the only other one I thought of is hop a plane and go over there to get the darn thing myself! My wife will tell you I will drop everything for a road trip but this would be one to tell the grandkids about. :lol:

Who knows this time next week I might be drinking Vodka and buying every vintage machine I can get my hands on!!
