As these things go, someone posted it on an email list -- one that a couple of people here subscribe to, so they will have seen it, or will when they check their email. But it was too good not to share with everyone here. I just knew you would appreciate it!!!

It looks like a Singer 15 to me -- he got the details right. Not a

15-91 with the potted motor, but the one with the motor mount and belt-driven motor in back.

Beverly (& others) my Scott Joplin cds have succumbed to CD Rot (heat &/or temp fluctuations damage the coating & make the cds stick or skip). i'm not really up on current recordings, so wouls appreciate advice on what Scott Joplin recordings are good... having bought at least one in the past where the piano player, well, was awful. TIA, lee

Actually if you stop frame very early you can see the machines he used for the design. It appears to be a conglomerate of the 15 class see the take up on left side, a 66 see the stitch length knob, and a 127 see the plate on the front above the needle.

Had to go look! You're right, of course. ;-)

The nice thing about the miniatures (I look in Michael's and Ben Franklins for them, too) is that they don't take up nearly so much room!

I made a copy of the Joplin CD my kids gave me several years ago, the title is "Joplin Greatest Hits" with Dick Hyman and James Levine on the piano produced by Steve Vining. I love it, but sorry, I can't find it doing a search, however this one has the same pianist:

Hamlisch played several Joplin pieces for "The Sting", and that's where I first discovered Joplin, so maybe: HTH,
