That looks more like a serial number than a model number...
Yup - looks like a 1956 class 15 machine, one of 50,000 made in 1956!
:) If you have the manual available, that should tell you exactly which
model of type 15 it is. I have a 15-88, a treadle, but they also made
them as hand cranks and with electric motors. Mine is on my web site
(URL below), in the Sewing Machine gallery: does your mother's look
similar?
If you want to try to fix it yourself, you need to identify the problem,
and if a part is broken, take the part number off it. Don't start
dismembering the poor thing until we know what the actual problem is!
Wefixit is a group dedicated to getting these old machine back in
perfect working order, and you will find a lot of help there. Find us
here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wefixit/
If you DON'T fancy fixing it yourself, they will help you find a good
local repair person.
