I've been wanting a Singer 15 and this clone is in so much better shape than any real 15s I've come across. Does anyone know how well the clones compare to the real thing? Billy, what do you think?

Thank you for any suggestions as I have been searching and feel like I am at a loss.... I am not even sure how to identify the Model Number. Maybe this one will have to go "As Is" to someone else. :oops:

Do you know if White Rotary's take a special size needle?

Usually the 15-88 is a treadle, the potted motor type is a 15-91. Methinks someone swapped out some parts between the 2 machines.

I have asked the Singer knowledge base to help clarify the situation. I surely don't want to misrepresent this machine. I shall update when I know the answer. Thanks, Sharon for your question.

(Didn't someone here ask me some questions about a New Home T?? Didn't have one then, would be glad to answer now!)
No case top for mine, sadly. A lot cheaper, though, so it balances out. Also received my VS 3 I bought off ebay. I have the machine cleaned up, but not the case. Sent a couple of heads home with a GF this weekend to balance things out.
And yes, I have A LOT of machines. Incorrigible. Hmn. I'm just going to start saying they're my retirement account.

You might look on the ISMACS site to help you with your 66.[/quote]
Tomilu, I checked the site out and found a machine that looked like the one at the thrift store. The site one is a 66k-6. The cabinet is different than the picture tho. Thank you for refering me to the site. Kathie
