It was packed great, nothing moved inside. The seller took every precaution to wrap everything separately and wisely. I tried it out and it sews great. I will have to tweak the tension a little bit, but that is all. All cleaned, oiled, shined, new wiring. Wow. Don't ask what I paid. It is worth it to have such a machine. I love to clean machines, but there is something grand about a new one showing up like this.

Oh Sooooo beautiful! I LOVE the 15 mechanism. I LOVE my 15-91 so MUCH more than my 201 - no matter what anyone else says. AND I LOVE, LOVE LOVE all my Japanese 15 clones with their so handy feed dog drop dials. 15's are the BEST machine for quilters because they have that super long straight stitch, they are so great at FMQ and they are SO strong and yet can handle dainty fabric like silk.
Enjoy your early birthday present
I took a Canadian Singer 15-89 (15-91 w/external motor) removed the motor - cleaned and adjusted it and placed it in my Singer 66 treadle cabinet. I then went to McMasters and replaced the leather treadle belt with a polypropolene belt - very quiet and have no worries about it stretching or breaking. I also have 2 -15-91's that I have lent out to local 4H'ers.
Enjoy.
Well, I sewed a whole top on it, no issues. The bobbin winder arm that comes down on the bobbin seems a little off, other than that, it is great.
I bought a 15 with external motor before Christmas, but the cord was plopped in the terminals and have not had it running, I could put in it a treadle stand.
