Craftybear --Been waiting to take photos to share as I have a White -godzilla finish like this one and I have the original manual
Got 3 machines I haven't shown on Vintage page because they look so much like others. Need a day to get camera and set up for photo's then we can compare. If White's are enought he same I would be willing to photocopy the manual for your friend but I couldn't do it for a few days so if someone else has one I would jump it. |

I found online at White Sewing Center where you can get the friction wheel with instructions and a tool rental to get out and back in. I wonder if anyone has done this before and how complicated it is to replace? Tommie |

According to the singer records, this is a model 15 - June 1, 1921! I don't have a 15, but after reading all the rave reviews here on the board, I am on the lookout for one! Congrats! :thumbup: |
