Need help finding a manual for a Free
 

I have a Free Sewing Machine Co. machine I need an owners manual for. I've looked and haven't found one so far.

The machine is a Free Long Bobbin Rotary. Yes, that is what it says on the arm.

It's not a Free Westinghouse, but it does have a Westinghouse decal on the bed and a Westinghouse motor.

Anyone have any idea where I might find a manual for this critter?

As an after thought this is the quietest VS machine I've got. It doesn't make near the noise all the others do.

Check the note at the bottom...

this is an interesting legal case of Westinghouse vs the Free sewing machine company.

Steve,

Thanks for the .pdf. It's really close and will do the job.

I just have one question, my motor does not have the grease cups, it has a hole over the top of each end of the motor shaft. I'm wondering if it should use grease too or if oil is the correct lubricant.

I would research CAREFULLY before making that choice...

Well, that's the thing. I'm not overly good at researching on the web. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes not. A little bit later manual would answer that question, other than that I have no idea where to start. Free doesn't exist any more. Westinghouse wouldn't have any info on those ancient motors, or if they did it would surprise me no end.

I will keep looking.
