   With the Model 28, of course, they put in a "paper feed" button and
eliminated the crank.

   It's a case design problem.  The Model 15 case gives the
impression of being an afterthought.  It isn't attached to the
machine; it just sits on top of it, isolated from it by some rubber
bumpers.  You have to reach into holes to get at the power switch
and break key.
