My son has gotten the estate sale bug so I went with him today since there was a crank machine listed and I've been wanting one. So, he carried it for me since I can't with my broken arm. I thought it looked like a 127/128 but when
I looked it up (G508841) it said it is a model 15. So, I looked up the manual and now I'm really confused. My machine has a shuttle..... the manual I found pictured a round shuttle. So, what model is it? Once I am able to use my hand again, I'll have to clean it up cause it's pretty dirty. But, everything moves and I like the decals. I'd like to find out the model so I can find out what needle to use, etc.

The safest way to remove it is with a lot of patience, a manicurist orange stick, and a blow dryer. The orange sticks have a flat end and are soft enough not to mar the machine's finish. Heat the gunk with the hair dryer, scrape with the orange stick, repeat.

Nanna,
You just found one of Singer' many data errors. You have a model 128. The date is probably correct though.
It sure is pretty. They have such a nice little clicky-clacky sound when stitching. I love mine.

Yep, I've seen and touched such a machine. It was a 28 or a 128 my LSMG owns. I've got a full set of pics of it too. I wouldn't mind having one of those motors.

Grant, Nancy, and Cindy, Thanks for the info. I knew it looked like a 128 but when the ismacs site said model 15 I couldn't believe it. I am going to have to unstick the bobbin winder.... it's not turning and the rubber tire is hard. Those aren't to difficult to find, are they? Maybe there is something that would soften it without having to replace it.
Glenn, are you out there tonight? The decals look a little fragile..... can I just use oil to clean them up without damage?
I am getting so anxious for this arm to get healed. I have 5 machines to clean up now..... I really can't do much with only one hand. I start therapy for my hand and elbow tomorrow.....maybe I'll be back to sewing soon.
