Someone told me this DeLuxe 146B is a 15 Clone...is that possible? It works great and I really love it's look. It's the Same machine as an Aldens 146B, but mine is badged Emporium and takes the same bobbins as my vintage Kenmore.

Nice machine though. It was made in Japan. Look underneath to see if there are any markings cast into the underside of the bed.

While it is not a Japanese 15 clone, it is a badged Japanese machine.

Well, who is going to be the one???? Does it need to be authorized or do we just go for it? I can start it if everyone is OK with that. I brought in my Brother 280 today to begin the clean up and took pics.
Yes, Grant. Dressmakers count. In fact any vintage machine that is not a clone of the Singer 15 is eligible.
