I just bought one!!! I can't lug it in the house - my shoulder is in bad shape and I'm not allowed to lift anything. I am waiting for DH to get home and haul it in. Mine has a manual and a box of attachments. I'll shoot a pic in a few minutes. The manual is a pamphlet - about a page all folded up. I looked at the bobbin area - pretty dirty but pretty cool - I can't wait to take a screw driver to that machine - might have to wait a bit though...
