Miriam, the 115 is a rotary hook. As far as I know that's the only difference (well, the 115 doesn't seem to have lasted in production as long and it's not as common - we just got lucky.)

It wouldn't be a clone if it predates the 15 and clones are copycats that are fashioned after Singers, not Singers, but it sure is a gorgeous machine. You were fortunate to find her.

Miriam, here are some pictures of the bobbin area sans bobbin case on both the 115 and 15. Note that I don't yet know if the 115 is complete in this area! The 115 is the first shot, a 15-91 is the second. |
You're right. My 128 is newer than a 28.
|
Are the faceplates interchangable? The machine I'm looking at has a plain one and I'd love to replace it with one of fancy scrolled ones.
thanks |
wow those are so cool

How did I miss this thread? Thank you for starting it Miriam, because I think I now know what the deal is with this sewing machine!!!
After looking over this thread I believe the first two pictures might be of a dusty 15 clone (the rotten little machine that started this whole old sewing machine obsession!!!) that fell into my hands several years ago and I couldn't find a lick of information on. I don't know what happened to the tension dial...I'm not sure it was ever there. I love the faceplate on this machine though, isn't it gorgeous? The last picture is of an actual Singer 15 treadle from 1906 that the Husband purchased for me. Aren't I lucky? ;) |
Pumpkin, you can get tensions for that - here is a manual so you know how to put it together. I just love that manual - I have learned so much!!! http://www.tfsr.org/publications/tec...achine_manual/ everything about that manual is good

Oh wonderful thank you for the link! Because this machine is sort of the clunker of my collection I think I may have removed it myself...I have a cabinet in my sewing area that I keep baggies of parts in! EEP!! I probably should start labeling those baggies now that my collection is increasing into the twenties! About a year ago I got a bug up my butt that I wanted to see what the tension looked like when pulled apart...I suppose I could have just looked online couldn't I? But what fun is that? As soon as the baby falls asleep I'm going to head off into the other room and see if it's in there...
